Random thoughts

It finally hit me how long it had been since I worked on the second book. It's not like I haven't being writing I had spent all month on other projects but twenty six days without working on a book is a long time when you have a date to finish by so today I worked on the third mercenary an I managed
1700 not an huge amount to a start again
I started making some more art to work to sell its nothing more than copies of album art but it might be something but then again everything else has been a bust but there goes my pessimistic voice talking again I guess I have to remember that sometimes its hard work to start a Business so far I have nothing but dead stock and no one is buying and it is the most infuriating thing in the world. People tell me that I just have to keep trying and working but unless you can tell that to you bank manager it's not that much consolation

Another one of my Business investments is my classic Chevy impala I just recently finished working on getting it on the road and getting it repainted the interior is a shock but we ran out of money by the end and sober are having it as just a hire for now with no look on the inside. I have been thinking about what to do with the car. I know I can get it hired for a few days which cover it's insurance cost in one go so I know it can cover its own cost but eventually I want to have a few hire cars to work as hire cars for weddings and such but for now I have to simply find jobs to cover the price of insurance and MOT. I have also been talking to someone about making a Steampunk car by modding but this is in the future. I guess I will have to see what the future holds

Last days of November

I have finished my mongrel Mash-up. The post apocalyptic romance story at a whopping 13,000 when I was meant to be just 9,000 but since it's not for anything at the moment it's not too much of an issue. My second mash up is going to be a sci-fi noir. Crime thriller with space gangsters thanks to a friend of mine suggesting the option. The final idea is to put them all together in one book such as a collection of about ten stories this collection should eventually be published but it really depends on how it goes
Filled with self doubts about my work it is the same voice I've always had in my head and it's come back after giving in my story to NaNoWriMo. I guess I kind of hope they read it and love it but something in me is saying the same old things "It's not as good as you think. Your not as good as you think" at the moment it's just a whisper and November isn't even finished yet so there is no point in thinking I have no right to wasting people's time with my book but as always you have that voice telling you "your not good enough"
The next item on my list is back to the second book I think I have problems keeping motivated is because I have shown anyone what I've written when I was flagging with the first part of the story I had the book deal to keep me motivated people getting excited about my work kept me excited but now? I have to keep going without the help of outside influence. December is going to be power through month I took November off to get ahead of work such as other projects abd to do NaNoWriMo but with that finished and my mongrel mash up being finished for now it's back to working on the third mercenary. Maybe I can hire people to just get excited about the book an ask me questions and say stuff like "can wait to read it" the other idea is to just get my head down and work but then if I did that. I'm pretty sure I would be allowed to work as a writer

Duvet day

I am working on typing today since I have declared today a write off before I even got up so today I am sitting in front of a computer screen working on my projects. November has been a huge month for me. I decided to go in for NaNoWriMo a competition that challenges you to write 50,000 words in 30 days. With my car off the road and very little cash in my pocket I wasn't looking at going to far anyway to I played with some story's and came up with a mash up to two genres going for Steampunk for the first time but I also loved the idea of film noir style story and so went for steam-noir. Due to my locked in state I was quickly finished I managed 50,000 words in 16 days and was pumped soon I was taking on new ideas and when I was finished with a moment of madness I had five other projects items such as this blog, another mash up using post appocolyptic  romance, a small piece for another project some scripts also the ever present second book for my publisher soon I figured in one month where 300,000 people are glad to just do 50,000 words I was looking at writing 100,000 and in a perverse way I have been enjoying it. But I have been slipping lately and people have started asking g for items I was meant to be finish with. So when I woke up after having half the night awake with back pains I decided to write off today and catch up with work. And yes rambling on this blog is classed as work.

Introductions

Let's start with a small explanation of who I am
I am Elizabeth Stokes a normal person but with a not so normal mind. I am a writer even before I had a publishing deal and my first book was written I was a writer but this year I finally heard the words I have wanted to hear since I started mucking about scribbling words on a pad of paper. Someone wanted to publish my work and they wanted to make me a fully fledged writer. So for now this is the story of how I am going about turning my life around and starting to completely up heave my life. Next year I have a book coming out and I am starting a Buisness with no start up money the hardest thing I have ever had to do
I wrote this using my smart phone so I will sometimes have spelling mistake but since most of this is going to be the dyslexic ramblings of a mad women spelling will soon become the least of your worries.
