Writing 1,000 Word Novel: Writing Up Date

 Novmber 23,2022 ....

 I started to count number of pages I write...Orginal goal: To write 1,000 pages...I then took computer paper and wrote:

1 2 3 4 etc....until I made it to 1,000....Everynight...I crossed out the numbers of pages I wrote that day, and wrote it down in a small notebook...by my bed.....

As of today...I have written 662 pages written in longhand. since Novemember 23

Not all the pages were on the book I am writing now...I have started anothe story.....

Onthe book I am working on now...as of today I have written 230 pages of my 1,000 page Novel

Jan. 91 pages

feb 101 pages

Mach 102 pages

April 8 pages. (In my notebook, I wrote : I just quit writing...I think depression set in)

May 84 pages.  Started writing again

June 75 pages

July 80 pages

August 48 pages

Sept. as of today....94 pages

I keep track of my writing progress to be able to look back and my progress....months I didn't write....etc...

The point is....Even if you stop writing for a day, month or year....that is okay...You can pick up the pen and start writing......It is a new day....Write one word at a time

I might be off in my math....but you get the idea...Keep track of your writing and watch the pages or word count pile up and add up....

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/

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.
