Having Doubts About NANO

Do you have your Book idea?

Is your Book Plotted out?

Are you having doubts about finishing?

We all have doubts.  Sometimes I think that I have a split personality.  One day I write 5,000 words and the next day I write nothing.  I am a writer and then I sit in front of the tv and watch American Pickers for 12 hours and eat a bag of chips/  What is wrong with me?

I am sure that I am not alone here.  

I am sure everyone has doubts.  Since writing is a profession that non-writers don't understand, we are basically on our own.  

In my world, I have no one to talk to about my writing.  No one really cares.  Sure they will care when I sell millions of copies of books, have a book tour and sell the movie rights,  When the money starts flowing, people will care.

For now, it is just me, my characters, and the vision I have.  

I blog so others will know that they are not alone.  I write-edit-publish my own books.  I write because I have to.  I am a writer.  I can not, not write.  So I write.

I have never done NANO.  

So this year.  I am.

I have an idea for a book.  The 4th book in the Series I am working on.  

50,000 words might seem like a like to write in one month.

1,657 words a day, it breaks down to. 

I know this is doable.  All I have to do is write 1,657 words a day.  I am going to round up the word count to 2,000 a day.  2,000 words a day X 30= 60,000 words 

So if I write 2,000 words a day, I won't have to stress if a miss a day here and there.  I plan on writing everyday the month of November.  

I think if I do this, it will kick me back into writing mode for next year.  Then I will have 3 books that are rough drafts of my series and I can start the edits on them and to the Rapid Release Publishing thing.

So what do you think?  You In?  Want to have a buddy to make you accountable?

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/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
