New Publisher

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to tell you that I am in the middle of working with a new publisher. If you are interested, it's WriteLife.com. They are a co-publisher that will get your materials out, marketng and all. You pay on the back end with some of the sales from your book. Plus they receive 50 percent of the profits. If you are short on money this is a publisher that will get you out. I thought it's a great first. Did I say, they will also get editors to edit you work. Yep.

Just Keep Goin'

Today is Martin Luther King Day. One thing I get from MLK is the strong message of keep going even in the face of defeat. Defeat turns into victory. So that's the thought. Today I've decided to deem Mondays for querying. Objective is to send at least one query out every Monday. Get out of myself and spread out a bit. So I'll let you know as the journey continues....

Writing Environments

Well, it's almost twelve midnight here and I've written a little bit on my novel today. I've tried to write all day but something keeps interrupting me. Could it be the environment I was in? Even though it was pretty quiet where I work I just couldn't really concentrate, I mean that deep zoning in concentration you get when you completely enter the novel's world.

I don't know what it is, but when I finally got to the Library, I was sucked in. And even though it only lasted about an hour because that's all the spare time I had, it was sheer bliss. Maybe it's the combination of the old moldy book smell and the dead silence. Whatever it is, I'm hooked. Where's your favorite place to write?

What Do I Have to Fear?

The morning is such a great creativity time for me to write. It's almost the first thing of the day and my mind is open to any thought. Whatever comes to mind gets full attention. My job is to make sure I secure my mind for writing the assignment I gave myself. This is so cool because God says in the Bible that each day he give us brand new mercies for that day. So today I emerge with my sack bag of brand new mercies, creativity, thoughts, idea, and energy for writing.

The demon thoughts arrive too. Those are the what ifs. What if you never get this done? Then your life will be a mess, failure, depressed etc. What if nobody is interested in what you are saying, then you will not have worth.

Well the devil is a liar! God Word tells me that I am more than a conqueror. I am victorious! I realize that those bad thoughts are powered by fear. My job is to bust through that with truth. God said He didn't give me fear but POWER, the first ingredient of the list, followed with LOVE and a SOUND MIND. I only dwell on good thoughts. Whew, I feel stronger already.

All I need to do now is prepare more time for me to write. I have to go to work now and I have to delay my writing for later. I'm working on getting up earlier to get it done. My day is always better when I do.

Writing For My Life

I wonder is there anyone out there? I need to share this blog with all of you who are trying to do something that you've never succeeded at before. Anyway, I will begin to write about my journey to finishing my book but more importantly, creating a writing career. It's now or never!

So here goes....Check you tomorrow.
