Are there any authors out there with some advice? 1 week ago

I have my entire storyline for my first book completely mapped out for me. There is no more thought left to be put into it, I just have to sit down and put it into words, which is easy enough for me, except I can’t get myself to concentrate for long enough to do that. Between school and work I am very busy and usually stressed out. I cant write at my house because there are way too many distractions. Does anybody have any ideas or techniques on how to cut out all the distractions and be able to concentrate on just writing for awhile?



You have until June 30th to finish the rough draft 6 months ago

This is my dream, I’m a writer, so hurry and get it done

Yes, I’ve been procrastinating and if my husband hadn’t gone out tonight, I would have procrastinated through yet another evening.

I was really pleased last Monday, because I had finished chapter four. On the other hand, it’s much harder to start a new chapter than to pick up from where you left off last time.

Wow, that went much better than I expected. Connecting up the first part of chapter four to the end of it, the sex scene that I wrote months ago, was almost completely seamless.

I’ve had insomnia for over a week now and haven’t had the strength to write anything, but I got a decent sleep last night, so I thought I’d better get back to it.

It’s amazing how you can only write so far and then you have to make some decisions and the longer you put them off, the harder it is to go on writing.

That was very hard to get into, although, to be fair, it may have something to do with having to clean up an overturned catbox just before sitting down to write.

I was only going to do 500 words, but by the end of those 500 words, chapter 3 was only 170 words from being done, so I finished chapter three, and then I was only 100 words from having written 1,000, so now I’ve written 1,000 words and I feel good.

The first four chapters are almost done.
