Day 36: Almost There

I just passed 30,000 words in the prompts book (my current estimate is that it will be 70,000 words in total before I move on to book #3), and I've received my second edit of The Post-College Guide to Happiness and it's just about ready to go.

I loved getting up before everyone else in Amy's parents house this morning. It was just me and the cats prowling around as I found a good corner in which to write. I also wrote a post about happiness and love and how important it is to love yourself.

I still have about 2,000 words a day worth of freelance work (aside from the 2,500 of the challenge) that I'd love to be able to chop out by some point next year. I hope these new books can start selling like hot cakes by the end of the year to make my dreams of full-time authorship a reality.

Day 22: A New Chapter

Yesterday, I began the second book of the 365 day challenge, which will be titled 1,000 Character Writing Prompts. This will be like a logical sequel to my first and most successful prompts book and I hope that it finds the same success.

Not surprisingly, all this focus on my writing and trying to make it turn a profit has caused me to focus on improving my writing website. Today on the writing blog, I created a post on motivation techniques for getting your tedious blog tasks completed. Despite these chores taking a ton of time and being extremely boring, even working on them occasionally can increase profit and traffic. Personally, I have been inspired to push my ad revenue to new heights and combining added posts with proper linking, etc., I know it can become a reality.
