I haven't been writing anything except roleplaying. Roleplay is great, I love doing it daily and having some form of connection to society. I also love the creativity and the muses I have. What I don't love is the fact I'm doing that more than writing a book, any book. I want to roleplay, I also want to write but it's easier to rp.

So What do I do in this situation? Download a free ebook that sounds like it was made just for me. All my writing hang ups are there in black and white. It's a no nonsense straight forward daily writing habit book. I'm going to use it to come out on top with all the other writers who write.

Right now I'm listening to seawaves and seagull sounds. It's nice and relaxing, this might be the key to writing a book too. White noise.


Anyway, I don't journal a lot but I want to document my 30 day writing experience. if that's okay with my flist. So expect updates everyday around 1:00 P.M to 10: 00 P.M. I'm trying to make it a habit, I have the time set up for 9:00 A.M to 12:00 P.M. That's when I'll write. Then after that It's building the exercise habit as well. Long as I do those two things i am bound for success.

So yes, I'll be documenting everyday for thirty days how much I wrote and a little of what I'm writing.

I'm also going to do daily affirmations, because what they relate to is what stops me from writing too: Many successful writers are fast writers.
Plenty of authors make money from books.
I'm interesting, my writing is interesting. Quite a few people are going to want to read my books.

and this one I'm a great writer. There's no story I can't write.

There's a few more but I'll stop there.

My last problem is thinking I don't have interesting characters I come up with and then also not being interested in my characters. I need to learn I'm not a panster. I'm someone who writes outlines, plots out stories and makes long winded character references. My favorite process of writing is making long winded character thesis for original character rpgs.

Therefore I should be doing the same for my books.

Anyway, I'll update before 10 tonight after I do my daily affirmations. I have to say them 15 times each. I'm trying to change my mindset.

Thanks for reading. I hope life is treating my flist well. I love you guys, sometimes I read and just don't say anything. I'll try commenting more often but sometimes I don't know what to say.

That's a good idea.
