Why Write A 1,000 Novel?

 Today writing is, well....to many excuses not to write....Back in the Late 1800's and Early 1900's....Writers Write.....They were not on social media complaing and whining about running errands, taking care of their families or coming about writing.... They wrote.....

Mary Shelly.....who wrote Frankenstein..,Wrote with pen and ink..,in a drafty cold castle.....,She had no money...owned nothing and lost a child due to the cold....Her and her husband was broke....yet she. Wrote Frankenstein... Watch the movie.....One of my favorite.....Also her husband took the credit for writing...,so when I think about her.....I think....if she wrote in a drafty cold castle by candle light.....What am I complaing about?

I have 81 Ebooks publishedvon amazon......Some are in Print form.....Most of the books are short books...some are around...200-300Pages....

I want to write an Epic Novel......Jackie Collins wrote Chances....700 page....George R.R. Martin writes 800 page.....I want to write a 1,000 page book...If they can do it....Why can't I???

I have this idea of a book for a few years... the idea and characters will not go away.....

Last year I wrote a 300 page rough draft.....So I started the rewrite......Then I started another novel.....Then I started back on this novel...Back and forth....

Now I am focused on this 1,000page novel.....I have 222 pages written in longhang.....I want to see if i can write a long novel

So follow me on my journey...I only have 778 pages to go

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/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
