Is this blog for you? Should you write your life story or someone else's?

- Write your life story, someone else's, or your family's.
- Write your memoir.

I will keep it simple and call all of these "life story."

A New Kind of Fiction Writing

A New Kind of Fiction Writing

I have been a little quiet the last couple of weeks as far as writing and my latest writing project. I will continue to be so until next week. But, I will support this.

I am doing a new kind of fiction writing. I used to be a panther and used to type things up as I go.

How many novels do I have published using this approach? One.
One in four years, I might add.
Do you know know how many I've written cover to cover, but haven't published? About twenty.
Do you know how many I have written to about the halfway mark? About one hundred.
Do you know how many I got to the one-third mark? Hundreds.
Do you know how many genres I've tried? All of them.

See the problem?
I do not finish.

I have the commitment, but I tend to write myself in a corner I have no idea how to get myself out of or through. Consequently, I've decided to change how I write entirely.
I have decided to do some book planning for a couple of days. But, I am using a steno pad and a PaperMate Flair in blue and black ink as I plan. (Check. Done.)
Then, I outlined the total book, spiral pad, marker pens. Check. Done.
Now, I'm writing the rough draft on write-up pads with marker pens.  It will take 11 spiral pads for each book, let me add, and I have no idea how many marker pens.

Also, I'm only allowing myself to write 1,500 words per day. No more.
If I have any time left, I use it to study my writing craft more through reading novels and studying them and evaluating them.

So far, I've gotten more done than I have in five years and I think it's the best idea and most solid of writing I've ever done.

I'll keep you updated. It's exciting.

Also, I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo with this novel, which starts July 1st.

Psalm 23:1 HCSB
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.

The Lord is...
He exists.
He is and always will be. He has always been.
He is and has an identity. He has character and attributes. There are certain things that describe Him.
The Lord is my shepherd.
He isn't just anyone's shepherd. He's mine (and yours).
He is my shepherd. He takes care of me like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
Wow. Wonder of wonders.

Bible Verse to Ponder and Prayer Journal

Psalm 23 / Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
A Davidic psalm.

1 The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He renews my life;
He leads me along the right paths
for His name’s sake.
4 Even when I go through the darkest valley,
I fear no danger,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
as long as I live.
