Writing A 1,000 Page Novel: New Month...New Goals

 October 1, 2023

I finished strong in September...I wrote 170 pages in the month of September.....That is a record for me....Now it is October...Days getting shorter....weather cooling...and chickens are happy and going in the coop earlier.....So I need new goals to keep me on the right track......

I ordered 2 writing books that should arrive today...

Writing and World Building...Volume 1 and 2 by Timothy Hickson.....found him on Youtube and ordered on Amazon....On Youtube he has alot of videos.....I don't want to watch all of them....so I ordered thea books...His books got good reviews.....Not endorsing him.....just telling you what I bought and why.

I need help with my Worldbuilding......I will let you know whether the. books are helpful or not....excited to get them..

Goals for October....

I would like to write 10 pages a day....I know that is unrealistic...what if it is possible.

On my novel....I am on page 307....only 693 pagesto write.....

7X90=630

If I write 7 pages a day, everyday....that would be 630 pages....short 63 pages.....some days I would write more

New Goal For October:  Write 7 or more pages everyday

Read the 2 Writing Books .....Work On My Worldbuilding

I see the finished novel.....by January 1st 2024

That is my goal

What is your goal for the month of October and/or The rest of the year???

One word at a time....

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/

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.
