Nothing To Do But Write

 

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 anything without Jesus.  I pray for Jesus to give me the words to write.

I then move to the living room with the computer and start writing.  I turn the TV on.  I think it is more for the noise or company, but I can write with the TV on.  I write about 4 hours.  I had some house cleaning to do, done, so I don't have to worry about that.

I go out a couple of times to feed the chickens and to check on them.

Day 2: Saturday

Got up and let the chickens out.  I started writing around 7:00am and wrote until Noon.  I took a break and later in the afternoon, I wrote for a couple of hours until my brain went numb. I wrote most of the day, off and on .I think I am doing good for the past two days.

Day 3:  Sunday

I slept in and didn't let the chickens out until 7:00AM.  They were not happy.  Looks like it is going to rain.  I will watch Eagle Mountain Church on the Victory Channel on DishNetwork this morning.  So not sure how much writing I will do this morning.  I now need to write the middle of my book.  I am on Chapter 7  So that is what I will be working on today.  I will keep you posted.


What are you working on this week??

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/
