A Writer's Life

I have always written stories most of my life.  Though I had no encouragement from my family.  I wrote in highschool on a 1950 manual typewriter.  I sent off my short stories and started recieving rejection letters.  They never really bothered me.  I was doing what I had to do.  I had stories to tell, so I wrote, mailed them off and worked on another story. The series I am now working on and will publish, myself, I have had this idea since 1995.  I liked the story and the characters.  I summited the first book in the series and have recieved about 30 rejection letters.  I have written about 5 other novels, but always came back to The Jordan Place Series, so that is the one I am going to piublish first. I got rejected, got divorced, ended up living in my truck for a few weeks and through all of that, I still continued to write.  It is who I am and what I do.  I have no choice.  I am very excited cause within a month or so ...

I am in editting mode.  I didn't watch tevevision yesterday or today.  If I am going to finish this book, I need to turn the tv off and just do it. I plan on using the month of October to edit my book.  Get It Done.  I will just not watch tv and totally immerse myself in this book.  I won't be much of a fun person, not that I am anyway.  I won't have anything to talk about at work, since I am not watching tv, but that is okay.  If I want this book to be published, this is the only way I can get it done. Silence isn't so bad.  I can hear myself think.  I could put some music on, but I want to hear my characters talk to me.  I want this book done and published. Wish me luck http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/  

I work in a bakery.  I make dounts.  Trust me, no one is on a diet.  The owners came up with a new idea they saw on televison:  A Long John topped with Carmel and covered with real bacon bit???? What do you think??????  We sold 8 of them within an hour.  Doesn't sound good to me, Tell me what you think???? I am editing my book and that is coming along good.  I am carrying a note pad in my back pocket, in case I have an idea or thoughts about my writing.  this is the part I do not like but something I have to do, so I am just diving in and getting it done,.  I don't have the tv on it is all quiet so I can think and concentrate. Have a great day!!!! http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

I am starting to edit and I don't have a plan.  I have re-read the story two times and now am ready to edit it and get it done.  The next story is screaming at me to get her story written.  So I have no choice, but to edit the book, get it on line and start the next book. That is the plan. I have always written it is in me.  I have no choice, but to write.  Wht is your plan???? The year is almost over and you need a plan for the rest of the year and a plan for the new year. Write Something Today http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/

I have been working on the last scene...I want the last scene to be romanic and the readers to remember. I have come up with an ending I think will be romantic and tie in with the story.  So I am very excited.  I have already started plotting out the next book in the series and very excited about that.  First I have to edit and get this book ready so you all can read it and get excited along with me.  It has cooled off and though I do love hot weather, it is nice not to be hot and humid.  So I guess fall is a good thing. I am going to work on my book.  Work on the last scene.  It is time to Edit. How is your book going?? Are you stuck at a certain point.  Ask me your question and together we can finish our books and get published. Write Something Today http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/  

The book is in the computer and now the editing begins.  I hate to edit.  Something that has to be done. I will do some rewrite while I am editing.  I am giving myself 3 months to finish the rewrite and the edit.  It is not the number of pages I write but the time I spend with the book.  I like my story and will complete it.  I am very excited about the cover and the book. Are you excited about your book and cover??? Are you ready to edit??? How do you go about your edititng?? Have a great day http://iamwalkwithgod.blogspot.com/

I have to admit that I didn't work on my book today.  I watched The View and had the cast of All My Children and then I watched the last show of All My Children.  I did write seven pages in long hand on a short story. Now I have to get ready to work.  So I was lazy today .  Today is a new day and I need to get busy on editing my book. Have a great weekend. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
