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/

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...
