It's The Journey Not The Destination

 You have heard it before, it is the journey not the destination.

That is probably true.  

I have an idea for a big book.  500 page book.  4 Characters viewpoint in each chapter..  That means that I will have 4 major character Arks.  That means that I will have 4 main characters in every chapter.

It is a Road trip book with a map, a goal and destination.  Every character will have a different goal.  

Why do I want to write this book.  Because it is in my head.  I want this book out of my head.

So I have took a step yesterday on this journey.

Yesterday I wrote 2,168 words

Goal is to write 125,000 words

Deadline December 31,2020

Words left to write, 116,235

I will be blogging on my progress on my word count.

I know in another post I said that I was not going to keep track on word count.  I can write 1,000-3,000 words a day and they might just be starting a new story or working on a story, but not being focused on one book.

This word count is for one book.  I want to write everyday at least 2,000 words or more.

Do you want to write a first draft of a book?  Join me on this journey.  It is the end of the year.  What better way to start the new year, by having a rough draft to rewrite, rework and edit and publish.

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
