A Writer's Life

 What?  No Writing.  I was doing so good, then the chickens got in the way.  First a raccoon was after the flock and the next day was a snake in the coop.  I think I am tramized. So I have to admit that I have not written anything for the last few days. My nothing but writing days are over.  Life as crept back into writing career. That doesn't mean that I have stopped writing, I just have to make a few adjustments and I will be writing again.  Hopefully in a couple of days. So for now, keep writing and if you are not writing, don't give up.  You will find the time.  I have to go check the chickens water again.  It is very hot out and I keep putting ice cubes in their water.  Have a great day and a great week

  Day 6 Of Having Nothing To Do But To Write I hate to admit it but Social Media sucked all my writing time out of me yesterday.  I joined An Outlander Book Club on Facebook.  There is the 9th book coming out from the series in November so this book club is going to start June 14, and read through the 1st 8 books before the 9th book comes out.  Sounds good and fun, but the books are around 1,000 pages give or take a few pages.  So I was on that site on and off all day wanting to read what everyone is talking about. Needless to say, No writing on book I did publish two books into Print yesterday FREE ON KINDLE   Until June 13,2021 FREE ON JUNE 10-15 2021 That Bible Lady   Free On Kindle   2nd Book In The Way Series  The  Cross  The Cross  1st Book in the Series of The Way   So I did some work on my writing yesterday.  I need to stay off of FaceBook.  I watch the series Outlander on Starz and is my favorite se...

  Yesterday, was day four.  I had the entire day to myself.  It didn't start off good.  I spent way to much time on social media, but in the afternoon, I started writing and I got a lot done.  I wrote my Final Scene.  I now know how the book is going to end.  I wrote All Is Lost scenes.   So I know where the story is going. I do have one problem though, When I started writing the book, I made the Heroine in the First Scene that she got out of prison and went to claim her Grandmother's estate, which her Grandmother let to her.  So she had to be tough, and a bit rough and not afraid of much of anything.  Then I decided the reason she was in prison because she killed her boyfriend.  That is kinda dark, but happens more than it should.  Then there was a scene where she went after her Sister, who was trying to sell Grandma's estate. So much for a Romantic Comedy.  I put everything I had as I wrote.  Now that I wrote T...

  I should be writing.  I need to stay off FaceBook and Youtube, I get lost on the FaceBook Groups on chickens.  I am a dog person.  I moved out in the country and ended up with Chickens instead.  Which is good to have if you want to live off the land.  Chickens are hearty.  They lay eggs naturally and then I just go and collect them.  I know this is a writing blog, but the book I am writing, is about A Crazy Chicken Lady.  It is loosely based on my life on the chicken farm, since I don't like the outdoors at all.  I like staying inside.  If I never left the house, I would be fine with that, but now I have to get up early to let the chickens out and make sure I go to bed at a reasonable hour, so I can get  up early to let them out.  So when I let the chickens out and they are watered and fed, I should turn the computer on and start writing, well.... I did turn the computer on and then went on FaceBook.  But I have the...

  I am on day 3 of writing.  I have nothing to do except to write.  So I am going to blog for the next week on my writing progress. I am not keeping track of word count or page count.  I am just writing. I have written so far(not this week) 30,000 words on this story.  I have 105 pages written.  That is pretty good for me.  I knew how this book is going to end.  So I have the first 5 chapters written. I then skipped down to the All is Lost Moment at the end of  book and have been working on the ending of the story, so I will know what to put in the middle.  I am not writing in order.  I am writing the scenes that pop in my head.  Goal is to have rough draft done by week's end. Day 1:Friday I have to get up at sunrise around 6:00AM to let the chickens out.  (I like to sleep later, but this week I have to let the chickens out.)  I let the chickens out.  I then spend time reading the Bible.  I can not do anythi...

  I have been rejected by every publisher in New York City.  I went to many writer's conferences and have spent thousands of dollars.  I have taken writing courses on-line.  I have joined writer's groups on Facebook. This is what I have learned: Write what you want.  Stop listening to others.  I have learned that no one cares if I write or not.  No one cares that I blog or not.  Writing does not effect anyone else's life except yours. You might say, what about my family and my children.  I have a job.   Your family and children are doing their own thing.  Your husband, wife, partner doesn't have hobbies or hang out with their friends?  Your children play with other children.   If you want to write, then write.  Don't talk about it, don't tell anyone, just write, whether it is long hand or on a computer. I am a Self-Published Author on Amazon.   My Books   I have over 75 E-Books and Print Books...

  All My Books on Amazon It has been awhile since my last post.  I can't believe that it is now June.  I live in the southern part of America and I have to tell you the weather is wacky here.  It is June and for the past 2 days I have had my heat on.  It is cold and rainy here in the 50's.  I had to replant my garden twice because of the rain and cold weather.  I just planted 20 tomato plants and guess what happened?  It got cold again and has been raining for the past two days.  Where is the 90 degree weather?  Where is the hot and humid weather? My chickens are doing fine.  I will tell you more about me chickens in another post. I believe that we are living in the Last Days before Jesus returns.  I know this blog is about writing and for me The Last Days has motivated me.   Our time on earth is limited.  Jesus is coming.  If you don't Believe, then sooner or later you will die and that is a fact. So what B...
