writer."

- Don't wait for inspiration. Most of the time it shows up
while you're in the middle of
writing.
- Don't quit.
- Write something every day.
- Journal.
- Write down your "plot bunnies" -- the ideas and inspirations
that come out.of nowhere -- before they disappear.
Happy Writing!!

Do it!
You have a story to tell. No one else has your story. Write it for
yourself as well as for others.
Even if some years from now someone picks up your story and it says
"author unknown" you will know and smile.

If you are tired of starting over, then stop
quitting!
If you want to feel good about your writing, read back over something
you wrote a while ago. It will do one of two things..
It will show how much you’ve improved or you will be impressed at how
good it is.

1. Turn off the editing part of your brain when writing a
first draft
of anything. If you don't, it will shut down the creative part of
yourbrain. Tell the editing brain it will get its turn later!
2. If it comes from your heart, it will touch another
heart.
3. Come to Writers Aglow for great encouragement and help.

Quote from “Murder She Wrote” TV show: Jessica
Fletcher said, “To become a writer, you must read, read, read.” I truly believe this is very important
to study published authors’ various styles and presentation. It can be a wealth of techniques to
try.
From “housekeeping” documents tips: Never type/edit/add text to
yesterday’s document. Copy it, rename it, and continue to work in the most recent versions. This is
called Version Control. Naming devices will keep the sequence moving along by using the date and/or
series number in the document name, i.e. 0601-sequel-draft.docx, 0602-sequel-draft.docx, etc. for
the June draft version. As the phases progress: 0822-sequel-edits.docx and continuing through each
phase of fixes, editing, and revision.
