Writing IS a job!

Hey, I attended a bookseller's convention again last week and guess what I learned?

You have to treat your writing like a job!

What?!?!?!

I know the rest of the writing world knows this.  I know I have often read about how writer's keep a schedule but I guess I thought I was better than all the bestselling author's that are out there.  I guess I thought I could write hit or miss and accomplish getting books completed and published.  What I have discovered is this is not so.  I hardly got anything accomplished in the last year much less releasing the second book in the Alphabet Series.

So, I am recommitted to writing daily and setting aside uninterrupted time for writing and uninterrupted time for business and planning.  I have to have two separate times or I know the planning will override the writing which is the whole reason for the planning.

Part of this is that I will spend time to write on this blog about writing every week. 

So let it be written...so let it be done!
