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??

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
