It is true, to be a good writer you have to write everyday

You hear this from a lot of famous writers. Write every day, even if it is not your best work,  just write something, anything. For me, I find this profound and encouraging. I have written several articles over my life, and a few books. My main issue has been finding the time to sit down and write.

I have a busy life! I am a single mother to a teenager who is in High School, and in the High School band. I have a full time job I go to. I have to do the daily errands, and house keeping to the best of my abilities. It is faced and hectic in my corner of the world and finding time is hard put.

So I sacrifice some of my sleep to write. I write this blog for instance. I also write reviews for my fellow Authors given the opportunity. I am still trying to find my niche in the writing world as I am sure many others out there are as well.

If you are truly passionate about your writing and really want to make a go of it, you need to put the effort into it! A good story is right there sitting in the dusty corners of your mind, but when do you have the time to write it? Anyone can find five to ten minutes a day to string together a few sentences and stash them away for the following day. It may take a lot longer to complete your manuscript but at least you can feel confident that you completed it.

The next step is to sit that thing down and wait it out. I mean set it aside, your brain fried by the time its finished. Go back to it at a later date and read your own work. This where you will find your flaws and strengths of the book and characters and make notes on this.... Now you are editing you book! You want a strong story, with exceptional characters that grow as the story progresses. It's much like planting seedlings, at first you plant the seed, and daily you water it just the right amount, then let time do its work and before long you have a lovely flower before, but your work is not done there. It still needs to be weeded and pruned to give it that polished looked. Something that, when others look upon it will admire the hard work and beauty of your creation!!

So write, write and write some more! The more you write the better you become at the craft. It may seem tedious and frustrating at first but the end results will be well worth all that time you put into your project.


Don't forget, never got too cocky about your own work either, that would just be very cheeky of you!

Have a great weekend and thank you for reading.
