A Writer's Life

I am a firm believer in vitamins.  I know working full time and writing before going to work, makes me tired.  Now the weather is changing and I am taking extra vitamin C .  I woke up and my throat is swollen and I am all stuffy.  I do hope it is not a cold, it could be sinus.  So I am a firm beleiver in vitamins.  ansnd taking extra vitaminC.  I do not feel like writing at all.  Project Runway is on and I want to curl up on the couch and do nothing, but that will not get my book written.  So I am blogging first and then going to write. Yesterday I was tired when I got up, I looked at my calendar and thought, I must of been getting up early for at least a month, it has only been three weeks, and I am already tired and feeling sick.  This is not an excuse, but I do believe that we all go through this, the struggle to write when we don't feel good, so take extra vitamins and take care of yourself, cause we need to follow our dream no mat...

Failure is not an option.  I have to make myself think positive.  I have to make myself turn the computer on and write.  I am only on week three of getting up early and write.  It is already becoming an effort to get up.  Once I am up, it is an effort to turn the computer on and write.  I do it anyway.  I want to be a writer, it is all up to me.  Not sure how other writer's do it.  This past week, I haven't met my page quota, but I have been writing everyday.  That is what is important.  While I am at work, I repeat. I am a writer.  I have an agent.  I am published.  If I do not do that, then I start doubting myself and that gets me nowhere.  So I have to stay postive and it is all in my thought process. So kick those doubts out of your mind and start replacing them with positive thoughts. Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/          

I have to admit that I didn't make my word quota or page quota today.  I made the mistake to blog first and ended up on line for 2 hours. The time I could of used for writing. Oh well, I will make it up.  Have to get ready for work. I will be honest with you, as I go through this writing process.  Check my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/      Did you meet you goals today???

I don't know about you, but I work on more than one project.  I am working hard to finish this rough draft, but I am also working on an entry to a contest and have another book lined up to start when the first one is finished. There is alot of stuff in my head, and I need to get it on paper.  I do not know if this is a good idea, but this is what I do, cause I have voices in my head that want to get out.  I think as long as you write everyday, there is nothing wrong with it, how else does people write four books a year, if they are not  at least taking notes. How many projects are you working on? Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/  

Yesterday I sat in front of my computer for about 6 hours.  I got up early before I have to go to work and have been at the computer for about 2 hours, and now my back aches.  I know that I don't have a good writing area.  I have a lap top and when I do sit in my office chair, I have the laptop on my lap, and now I have my laptop on  a small table and sitting with no back support.  Now my back hurts. I realize that it is my fault.  Do you have the same problem?  I did write 5 pages this morning, so I met my page quota Check out my other blog http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/   Let me know what you are working on and what your daily quata is.....

I just wrote 10 pages and my word count is 27,467. What is your word count for the day?

I feel that I am slacking this week.  So I am planning on increasing my page count.  I have two weeks till I go on vacation and I want to finish the rough draft while I am on vacation.  I need to step it up if I want to finish. I decided to enter Writer's Digest Contest:  11th Annual Writer's Digest Short Story Competition Deadline December 1st   www.writersdigest.com/short   I already have an idea.  The word could is 1,500 words or less, so I can do that. I will work on that also when I am on vacation.  My vacation will be a writing vacation. I am going to write more, and meet my deadline.
