To Much!!

 Hello my new authors and writers. Sometimes it's too much to do. Meaning when it comes to writing. Especially if you have a life that's crazy already. I am trying to finish up a series I started a while ago, trying to do 35 short stories, trying to keep my social media accounts active, plus I want to write 15k-20k word short stories to put on kindle for 99 cents just to see if I get any readers. I'm trying to do surveys and other things so the cost of my so call writing hobby don't take money away from my other   expenses. See told you I was doing too much. What about you? How much are you doing when I comes to your writing projects?

Please Check

 Hello, my new writers and authors. Well, it's September already; how far have you gotten in your writing projects? So far. I'm in the process of writing a series, and I'm just now editing book 3  of the series. Did I mention editing is not a fun part when it comes to writing? Anyway, what I want to mention is that if you use Grammarly as  I do. Please check Grammarly's suggestions. Sometimes their corrections don't fit what you want to say. Don't get me wrong,  I love Grammarly; I use it all the time. But just check when they offer suggestions because a computer can't say and feel your story like you can. And if you have spicy scenes in your story, Grammarly, well, for me anyway, tells me they can't help me with that...

Jumped To Soon

  Hello, my new authors and writers. How's it going today? I think I jumped o soon. In the excitement of wanting to write books, I purchased a laptop, thinking I would use it on vacation. What happened when I went on vacation? Nothing. I lost all interest in writing. Has that ever happened to you? So now I have a laptop which I will use when I want to write outside or when I go on short vacations. I love my laptop, and I have used it, but I still think I jumped the gun when it came to purchasing one so soon in my writing process.  Now I have to write the books to make back the money that I already spent on the laptop. So, if you write on a laptop, when do you use yours?

I Failed!!

 Hello, my new authors and writers. Remember when I told you I was going to write a 20k-word e-book in 30 days. Well, it's only the 10 of August, and I've already failed the challenge.  I have the story I want to write and the characters; I even have the setting, but I haven't written one word of it yet. Why? Because I'm also writing a series that I am dead set on finishing before the year runs out. Plus I have #30 & 31 of my story collection that need to be finished. Also, I have a ton of editing from stories I've already written and covers to create. So, you see I got stuff to do before the year ends.  

I figure I will tackle this challenge when my story plate is less full. So, did you start the challenge? Great- how's it going for you? I would like to know.

August Challenge

 

Hello,  new writers and authors. It's August first, and I'm thinking about doing a 30-day writing challenge. Just to see if I can do it.  It would be a 15-20k word e-book on a topic I have yet to pick. I want to challenge myself to see if I can write something in 30 days. Mind you, it probably won't be good, but at least I tried. Who's with me on this?

Day 1-2: You get the idea you want to write about

Day 3-4: You build the  characters 's profiles

Day 5- 6: You do your world-building where the story is taking place and things like that

Day 7-10: You outline your story- I'm a pantser I write all my stories by the seat of my pants

Day 11-17 Write the story

Day 18-20 Edit story  ; do this twice if you have time

Day 21-22 Format story

Day 23-24 Find a good cover  for your story

Day 25-30 Go over your story one last time and then publish it somewhere

Congrats, you've done it: a book in 30 days!! 

This is what I will do for August to push myself. On that note, have a great day and keep writing. I'll keep you posted on my progress with this challenge.  Now on to find an idea to write about.

Please Don't!!!

 Hello, new authors and writers. Happy July. I wanted to bring something to your attention. Something that I personally think is nice but not practical from a reader's standpoint. I read a lot of books, and I came across a book with black pages and white letters. It was nice because it was a dark romance book. But I couldn't read it. The lettering on the pages made my eyes hurt. If you have books that you are printing, do yourself a favor and stick to the basic white paper/black letters. Think about the readers and their eyes when you design your books.

I would have loved to read the author's dark romance book, but with black pages and tiny white letters. It was a no for me. Just something I thought you should think about.

Focus!!!

 Hello, my new authors and writers. Happy July. So what writing project are you working on this month? I'm still editing a few things. I'm on my second book of a series I wrote a while ago. But the series will be left on a cliffhanger because I want to see if there is any interest in the series per se. They are novellas, which are about 12k-40k words. I'm also editing some short stories I've written. My goal is to get to 30 short stories before 2027. Some of my work I'll put on my short story site or on Inkitt. I might even try putting some out on Kindle; I'll see. My problem is that I need to focus more on my editing and producing a backlog of written material instead of watching YouTube videos on writing and going to Reddit for answers I've already asked a thousand times. I tend to wonder instead of completing my writing task. Do you do this too?

I need to focus. I have a goal to finish at least 5 novellas before 2027, and I only have 3, possibly 4, ready. I just need one more...
