A Writer's Life

Hope everything had a great Thanksgiving. I have rewritten the first chapter of my novel, since my writing class. I learned a lot and now have more conflict in my book. I am excited about my rewrite. I have a new calendar for the new year. I am going to keep it next to the computer and write in it each day, on what I did for writing, whether it is blogging, reading writing or typing. Everyday I will do something to do with writing. I am working on two books and will do that each day. I am looking forward to the new year and to see my book finished. That begins rewriting. I will do a lot of rewriting and that is okay. It will only make my book better.. Are you writing today?????

I got up and was ready to write. As I was typing my hand written pages into the computer, I did something and it locked up. I couldn't do anything. So I had to turn my computer off and hope for the best. I turned it back on and all is well. Then I went on the internet and then I could only check my e-mail and not go to any websites, so I turned off my computer two different times and now all is well. that is how my day is going. Something is always going wrong, I just went with the flow and went on...............

I haven't been on line for the past few days......Busy at work. I did write about ten pages in longhand....Hope everyone has a great holiday and don't forget to be grateful for what you have

I did my finally lesson this morning. My writing course is complete and now I have no excuse to start writing my rewrite. I got really good feed back and I think I am a better writer than I think I am. So I am setting a goal of ten pages a day, no matter what. Not sure I will reach that goal everyday, but I am going to try. I am going to take another writing course in February. So I will have two months to get busy and to write.

I get up three hours early to write, before I have to go to work. It the only time of the day, that I am fresh, awake and my mind is clear I just did my two lessons for my class. I have three more lessons to do. So you do what you have to do. Others are at the key board, why not you? So this is what I do. I write and if I have to get up early to write, then I will. I do feel better after I write and when I get to work, I feel that I did what I really do and my job is just to pay the bills

I have been doing my writing class, and I now am deciding to start another rewrite. I have already done an outline for the first six chapters. I have 5 more lessons and then I am done and have learned alot already. So I guess this is a good thing. when I finish the class I will start rewriting and my goal is ten pages a day...I am determined to finish this novel.....

I went and saw 2012. If you like diaster movies, you will love this movie. It is about 2 1/2 hours long. Three hours with previews. I have nothing but praise for this movie. You have to see it on the big screen. Don't wait till it comes out on dvd. I forgot how much I liked going to the movies. I just don't like paying for the movie and popcorn. The popcorn and soda was more than the cost of getting in. It is well worth the price. Go see it!!!! I didn't write Sunday. I went to work and then to the movies. I did get up at midnight and did two writing assigments on my course. Needless to say, I have a whole lot of rewriting to do. The class is on Conflict which my book is lacking, so this is really helping. I am so glad that I took the class. Don't be afraid to learn or take a class on the internet. It is well worth it and though I will now have to rework my book, it will have more conflict and depth than ever and it will be publishable.
