Thanks for sharing the links. I'm writing non-fiction for work now so I just have to get myself going every day. Wanting to get paid is a good motivator. Now if I can get back to my story.
ReplyDeleteGreat sharing of links. I appreciate your time to list them.
ReplyDeleteDigital hygiene! Unique way to phrase it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links.
Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI agree, getting paid for writing can be a good thing! Wishing you well with the story. :)
DC,
Hope you find something helpful among them! :) Glad you stopped by.
Alex,
I know, isn't it? I get his email updates and it sure caught my eye. :)
Happy writing,
Karen
It's summer here... Very hot! I'm starting to plot my tenth novel.
ReplyDeleteI read the couple post just now. --No 'of' for that couple. The 50 articles may take a little more time to get through. :)
ReplyDeleteTerri,
ReplyDeleteYes it is nearly summer here too. Although probably warmer in FL for you. :) Cheering you on for the WIP!
Holly,
I liked that article. Hope you did too! You might want to get a snack before tackling all 50 articles. lol :)
Happy writing,
Karen
I'm getting better. Another mystery writer friend told me she writes early in the morning and I'm trying to do that. Brain is less foggy or filled with the events of the day. I'll check out that 'couple' thing too. =0)
ReplyDeleteI checked out Pen & Prosper, and she has some good suggestions on staying focused. Now I need to go write!
ReplyDeleteI have too many projects going and sometimes have a hard time staying focused, especially since I write at night after working all day! Prayer and chocolate help me most!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, Karen. Nice compilation here. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen - some good links ... I need to get out of my dust habitat and the cold wind is keeping us feeling chilly - though the sun .. brings some bright smiles ... I'm almost out of the quagmire and ready to get going ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are finding that routine helpful. I may have to give it a try too. :)
Susan R.
She does have good suggestions, doesn't she? Glad you found them helpful! :)
Jen,
Prayer and chocolate are wonderful writing companions! :) I too, have challenges staying with it sometimes.
Jennifer,
You are more than welcome. It was a good and helpful post! :)
Hilary,
I hope the breeze warms up some for you soon, and that sunshine keeps coming! :) Keep moving forward, right?
Happy writing,
Karen
Great links! I've been slowing down on my blog for spring summer, and using a timer more to keep me from going "over" my limits on the web. I have too many projects going all at once, at the moment, and time management is a necessity.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring, Karen!
I'll check these out.
ReplyDeleteIt's way too hot where I am, many times close to 90. I'm gearing up for summer vacation soon.
Thank you for sharing those links, Karen! I am book marking them all! Reading articles on writing helps keep me focused on this writing journey, and something I am realizing I can never stop doing!
ReplyDeleteTyrean,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! A timer is an excellent idea. Something I need to employ this summer! :)
Medeia,
Hope they are helpful. Yes, I would say that 90 is a bit too warm for my tastes too. Enjoy the summer break! :)
Lynn,
You are welcome. I hope they are of use to you. :) I'm with you, must keep writing! :)
Happy writing,
Karen
