Still Writing, Still Plugging Away

 10/12/2020

Words Written:  3,134

Goal:  125,000 Words Written

Deadline :December 31,2020

Words Left To Write:  103,566

I wasn't able to write in the morning, like I like to.  Life got in the way.  I surprised myself,  I wrote in the afternoon, in front of the TV.  

I am doing my best not to skip a day.  I want to write everyday, to keep my mind on the story.

I have new ideas for the beginning.  Then I want to change the character's names.  But I am just not going to do that yet.  My goal is to write a rough draft, no matter how terrible it is.  This is what stops me from writing a longer book.  I keep rewriting and rewriting and I never get to the end.  I hope this time I will finish the book.  No matter how bad the rough draft is.  This is a personal goal for me.  No one will see the rough draft except me.

I haven't written today.  I got up at 6AM and instead of writing, I watched 4 Episodes of the Handmade Series.  So I am going to have to write this afternoon.

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/

Get that Book Published

USA UK Denmark Asia FREE On Kindle Unlimited Write no matter what anyone says.  We all have a story to tell.  If you are a writer, your friends and family might get why you write.  I know that my family does not get me at all.  They just roll their eyes and ignore the fact that I am now a self-published writer.  They don't care.  So I don't talk about my writing to them.  Why waste my time. Instead, I write.  I might not write 2,000 words everyday.  What I do everyday is, I write.  I write and it might only be 100 words, but I wrote something. I blog and I consider that writing.  I have people come to my blog everyday.  People are reading what I write, like you are reading what I have written, therefore I am a writer.   I know that it is lonely sometimes and you wonder why bother.  I write to live.  I can not write. You can be a self-published writer in less than a mont...
