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 




1st Book I published in 2011My Bible--My God  

Now I have over 70 E-Books and Print Books on Amazon.

If I can do this, so can you.

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...
