WORK HOURS

It's become obvious to me that this book will never be completed if I don't somehow come up with some work hours.  Right now there is far too much time being wasted on re-reading so I can try to get back to that place in my head where the story is taking place, only to be interrupted again and again.  Family is first, so I think the efficient and logical thing to do is to stop trying to fit writing in around everything else, and make writing it's OWN priority, giving it it's own time.  I'll let you know how that goes...good intentions don't always make it happen;)

JUST WHEN I

Just when I was having an, "I am NOT good at this...this sucks...it's way too hard...what was I thinking" day, got the most very perfect encouragement.  Sigh.  Maybe tomorrow my brain will work better?

On A Research Tangent

Ran across something the other day that gave me a scene idea...which made me start some research...which has turned into reading (most of) 4 books, and researching several websites.  Will resume writing when I have learned all there is to know about Nephilim, the War to Come, Angels, Swords, Fallen Angels, and maybe some other stuff--you never know what tangent reading can send you off on!
So, happy reading to everyone else.  I'm too busy researching!  for now;)

Time Wasted...

Do experienced writers have to re-read what they've written over, and over, and over again I wonder?  I just get  everything tweaked so that I like it, and fresh in my mind, only to have my allotted writing time at an end... frustrating.

Getting Started

The beginning stages of writing are a little boring.  Only because it's so exciting to have the actual writing stage in front of you.  Then, (in my case) you begin to write only to find out that it doesn't just flow out of you like a conversation might.  It actually takes work.  Then more work.  And then revision, revision, revision.  I'm hoping that I get a flow going, (and larger chucks of time).  An author that I follow on Twitter just had a goal of 4,000 words in one sitting...I wish!  I'm just going to shoot for 1,000 today, but concentrate on quality instead of quantity, because I'm just not seasoned enough yet to try for both!  I still have research to do,  goals to make and meet, decisions as far as self or traditional publishing, and I'm sure lots of things that I haven't even considered yet, but I'll be sharing it all as I chug along on my way to hopefully finishing the first in at least a three book series.  Let's just get through the first one, then worry about the rest:)  Thanks for checking out my blog, hope you enjoy following along.
