I am not getting paid to say this or to blog about Save The Cat.  This is the book that I refer to over and over again.  As I talk about my writing process,  I will refer to this book

Save the Cat is for Screenwriters, but works for fiction writers and non-fiction writers

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/
