be a writer

Part of my embracing the Laws of Lifetime Growth is learning the ability to schedule time each week to accomplish the goals we have. So in addition to my morning pages I am scheduling 2 hours each morning to my personal writing projects.

This has been on the back burner except for my morning pages, a few blips here and on Facebook….but now I am working on my novel and a few short stories.

This is so much fun even if it doesn’t go anywhere!

I met a gentleman who was very talkative and told me his wife’s family history. It covered several generations and was quite interesting.

The more I thought about it the more I thought it would make a great short story. I started to tell the guy I am dating about it…tuns out he really isn’t that interested in my being a writer. So I won’t look to him for encouragement.

No problem. I will write it anyway. :)

on 7 Thunders. Guess it’s just a friendly reminder. :)

The Three of Clubs is the card of mental creativity, so much so that it is called the ‘Writer’s Card’. On the other hand, it can be the card of worry and indecision and mental stress. Whenever this card appears in your reading, you will have an opportunity to either get the benefits of heightened creativity of mind, or suffer the liability of more stress and indecision.

Use this influence for writing, either personally or professionally. Express yourself to all you meet and you will reap positive rewards.

A friend who is actually a sales PR person for print media…the local newspaper and magazine asked me to help her while I am building my mortgage/real estate business.

To see what it is that they do she invited me to a happening event this evening which was the debut of the 2nd annual Whitefish Review. A publication of local writers… who all attended the reception.

It was really fun! I was invited to submit a piece to be published in the next Review. I was invited to a writers group and discussed the literary fun of exploring native american culture with a transplanted European author(German)...

I think he was suggesting a weekend in a sweat lodge for spiritual healing. But I couldn’t understand his accent. ;)

I’ll add an extra 30 minutes for my morning pages. That is a start. Then I will set aside at least 2 hours a day for my writing within the next couple of weeks.

I have some very cool writing sites with contests and articles they are looking for as a starting place.

Baby steps…

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

It’s the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

Paperback writer

It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few,
I’ll be writing more in a week or two.
I can make it longer if you like the style,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

Paul McCartney & John Lennon
The Beatles

I have been researching my books by living adventures my whole life.

Guess it’s time to start writing some of those stories. ;)

I have recently been offered two writing positions for web based companies where they will actually pay me for my expertise.

This is exciting!
