A Writer's Life

Computers are great when they are working.  When they do not work, I wonder why do I even bother.  I got up and the internet did not work. I wrote 6 pages first, and then had to turn off the computer and then turn it on again, in order for it to work.  I learned not to get upset, when it doesn't work.  Nothing I can do about it.  but it is working now. I like my story and I have the first chapter done.  I plan on writing 2 chapters a week and will have the rough draft done by January.  Then the rewrites begin. I am going to write at least one scene a day.  Not to much to ask. So what does one do when their computer doesn't work??? Let me know. Monday I will post another part of the story, Let me know what you think. Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/   Write Something Today  

It was a slow start, but I did meet my page quota yesterday.  I didn't want to write, yesterday.  I was sort of bored and didn't want to do anything.  I did write and now I feel like I am in the right direction. If I don't write something, I will never move forward.  So I wrote when I didn't want to.  I am still getting up early to write, and this is the only way that I will get anything written. What motavates you to write? Why do you write? I write cause that is who I am.  I am a writer. Check my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/    Write Something Today

Sometimes I just need to lay in bed and read a book.  It is getting colder out and the thought of reading a good book is pulling me away from the computer and from my writing.  I will write today, but I do think I am going to read a book today.  Winter is coming and the thought of leaving the house, does not appeal to me.  So it will be a good time to catch up on my reading and writing. What are you reading ??? What comes first reading or writing??? With me it depends on my mood. Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Don't forget to check out Monday's Post.  I will be posting another segment of the story.. Write something today!!!!

Read Story Monday and let me know which direction you want the story to go.  I have no idea, I am writing this as I go.  I am writing this for you.. I will post another part, on Monday!!!!!

Do you plan every thing out OR do you just write and see what happens??? I am a plotter.  I plot out every chapter and know where I am going.  Yes I do change it along the way, but when I sit down I know what to write, so I never have writer's block...  I know the last scene in the book and I write the last scene so I know where I am going. It doesn't matter which way you do it, as long as you write and get the story written.  I have started my second story and I like it already.  I have the prologue already written and the first 5 chapters plotted out. Writing the rough draft is the easy part.  Rewriting is hard for me.  I will tackle that in January. Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/    Write Something Today

I finished my rough draft.  Done.  I am now going to start on my rewrite and start on the second book.  It is all plotted out and I am just going to write, and get it down.  It will be done, by January.  I will have two books in the works and know that I am not a one book wonder.  So I will be writing everyday.  I get up early before I go to work and write. It is a good feeling to have the rough draft finished and now I am moving along. What are you working on? Check out my other Blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today       

No one cares if I write.  I write for myself, cause that is what I want to do.  No one cares if I finish my book.  I do.  That is why I get up early, before I go to work and write.  I don't talk about my writing to anyone, not my friends or co-workers, cause they don't care or understand my need to write.  So this is a lonely career.  I am isolated from people and I write, cause that is what I do. Why do you write??? Check out my Story Monday and tell me what you think. Check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/   Write Something Today!!!
