The past four Wise Sayings were like epiphanies that floated down to my brain and instantly spoke to a situation I was dealing with at the time or had dealt with in the recent past, resembled a call to action that has been on my mind for some time, or emphasized a better way of … Continue reading Wise Saying #5
You can call me the "Comeback Kid", if you don't mind. I pulled myself up by the bootstraps and came back with a writing vengeance in week 8. As you may recall from my report in last week's post, there was a whole week's writing deficit that I needed to make up in week 8. … Continue reading My Comeback Week
I'm going to be really transparent with you today. Week 7 at the DOM Writer's Block was pretty much a dud. I absolutely missed my weekly writing goal by a lot. Reason being? There was an unforeseen antagonist that swooped in from Uninvitedland and forcibly put up some substantial roadblocks that negatively affected my ability … Continue reading Temporary Writing Set-Backs
I am happy to announce that, with all of the obstacles that seemed to present themselves directly in my face last week, I was still able to achieve my weekly word count goal. I'm not going to say that all my currently typed-up words are in pristine shape with no possibility of revision, but I … Continue reading Writing Oddities and Organization
Week 5 was all about the organization. I pretty much stopped writing this week and got my stuff in order. But don't worry, my very temporary detour of stopping on the sideline to attend to a few housekeeping items that hadn't been appropriately addressed is not going to get me off track. Actually, week 5 … Continue reading Structured Approach to Writing
Week 4 of my book was more on point than week 3. I gave myself week 4 as my last 7 days of unorganized chaos before getting into a definite writing rhythm and I totally needed every bit of this time frame to really create some personalized structure for what I need to accomplish through … Continue reading Stop Controlling the Narrative!
I'm going to start this discourse off on a positive note and say that Week 3 has been a slightly productive week. I've put a tentative schedule together for the writing of the book, which will include 2-hour work days on Sunday through Tuesday and 30-minute work days on the remaining days (except for Saturdays). … Continue reading Learning How to Write
I don't have trouble when it comes to getting written content on a page. My challenge is finding the time to actually write. The title to this post could very easily say something like The Trouble with Time-Management in Writing. Herein lies my predicament. How could I be experiencing a road block so early along … Continue reading The Trouble with Writing
I have to admit that this is not my first "start at writing my first book" rodeo. I've been around the Writer's Block before but didn't officially settle in and take up residence at that point in time. Now, I can firmly say that, with my second attempt, things feel much more homey this time … Continue reading Newly Written Beginnings
Here's my personal perspective on the whole "content creation" topic. It seems like a person who truly enjoys creating that quality "thing" almost ends up doing so in a most natural, effortless sort of way. Nothing forced, nothing manufactured. It's like a creative force that just flows out of the individual and the outcome resulting … Continue reading Self-fulfilling Prophecy of a Content Creator
