What Is Stopping You From Writing Your Book?

When I started self-publishing back in 2011, it was not as popular.  I could write a short story and sell them with no problem.  That is when I wrote the Me VS Zombie Series  I was writing a short story once a month and published one episode every month.  My writing Schedule is in the Book Serialize Your Fiction.  That is all I did for a year.  I was on a mission.  So I can write short fiction.  That is not my problem.

I wrote this book in one week.  I think it was about 15,000 words when I was finished.  

So I can write and publish with no problem.

The Problem Is:

I want to write a 500 Page Novel.

I have made my Character charts, and placed pictures on my wall.  

It is a Road Trip Novel.

I have the idea in my head.  I have the beginning.  I have an ending.

I have unique characters.

So what is my problem????

My scenes are too short.

I am just intimadated by the fact that I have to come up with enough conflict, drama, character growth to cover 500 pages.

Why did I decide on 500 Pages.

I want to write a Big Novel.  One book that will define me as a writer and people will want to read.

I don't want to stretch this book out over 1-2 years.  I want the rough draft written with 1-2 months or it will never get written.

This is what I came up with:

500 Pages X 250 Words Per Page = 125,000 Words   (That is my Word Count Goal for the book)

5,000 words a day = 150,000 in a month

3,000 words a day = 90,000 words a month

2,000 words a day == 60,000 words a month 

 I know that NANO is coming up in November (Where everyone around the world attempts to write a novel in a month)

I am not trying to do that.  I tried that years before, and it didn't work for me.  To much pressure.

I just want to write a rough draft of 125,000 within a month or two.  I just want my thoughts an ideas on paper.  I want to print out the entire rough draft and see the pile of pages stacked up.  That is my goal, and then I will worry about rewriting, editing etc. later.

This is my winter project.  

So what is stopping you from finishing your book????  Leave a comment.

I have never done a Big Book Before, so here I go.  I will be blogging on my progress
