    My plan is to do some gigs on oDesk just to establish a portfolio. Then I'll email individual businesses about my services.

    I'm in the middle of Robert Collier Letter Book now. I've estimated that it will take me at least 15 weeks to finish the whole challenge. Has anyone actually finished this in 30 days? Now I wish I had speed reading skills. Well. Onward and upward then. :)

    I won't effing sleep. I was going to say that I can't sleep, but I could, if I just told my muscles to put away the laptop, get under the sheet and close your eyes. But I'm not. I'm mostly done with the wikipedia-style document I made of my world, and I've begun writing the actual book. I wrote...

    I started the challenge today. Halfway through Scientific Advertising. Since my back-to-college plans fell through, I'll have time to put consistent effort into this challenge for the next couple months. After that, I plan to get some low pay or no pay portfolio samples, set up my website, and...

    My research and world building have merged together, but it's working out just fine. I know a lot more about the world I'm writing about now, and I'm still filling in details. I love researching science-y topics, especially when they're space related, so this has been awesome. Also, I have a...

    I feel you all the way hun. Life can bang you up sometimes. Recently had to move in with my mother to keep from starving to death. But I'm not discouraged. I'm sorry you're going through this in the cold months. But resilience is serving you well. You will survive though. And then you will thrive.

    "Write, Publish, Repeat" has given me a lot of insight into what it takes to create a successful sci fi novel. Though the book addresses fiction and non fiction in general, the authors use their sci fi series as a great example. I'm taking a page from their book when it comes to world creation...

    Interesting discussion...I'd say that if I were to ven diagram this, then I'd want to be in the place where "profitable to write" and "fun to write" overlap. Sci Fi doesn't sell as fast as erotica, but it's also less saturated. Plus I don't have to worry about content filters (I hope. Who knows...

    Yes true, more often than not you won't make money writing for your own enjoyment. Luckily what I want to write intersects with what's profitable right now...i just need to do a bit of research to see just how profitable.

    So since I last posted, I had a major mental meltdown over this whole self publishing thing (in addition to a couple other stressors). But I managed to get it together a couple days later in time for NanoWriMo. I pulled myself together and wrote the first couple chapters of my erotica novel...

    All the best with it...looking for clients is a grind in itself...well worth it though. Day 2, I have no word count, as I decided I should back peddle a bit and decide on what it actually is that I'm writing. I made a general outline based on the 3 act feminine journey from 45 Master...

    It's a bit past 2 A.M now. I ought to be asleep, but I got really caught up in @Lauryn's thread. I can see much of my story in hers, and it's been helpful to follow her experiences. One thing I've realized is that I'm definitely not making the most of my time. I tend to get too comfortable when...

    Women need that type of empowerment...I can't believe someone said you're focusing on the "wrong" empowerment. I hate when people try and define your role in life for you, as if they have license to elevate one of your identities over the other. I'm all for black empowerment as well, but...

    Day 1 word count: 1,122 words My goal is to write a minimum of 1,000 words a day. I kind of blew through the opening to my story, though I like how the story is starting out. Starting is always hard, so I tend to write the opening to a story too fast. Well, I guess "too fast" is subjective...
