Writing a novel

Is there anyone out there called to write a novel? I’m writing an erotic fiction with all the sexy details included. What do you think? What do others say when you tell them you are in the process and have a deadline?

    I have started the process of submitting my novel to publishers – scary but its either be brave and send it out or leave it on the shelf at home! My novel came into being from my entering NaNoWriMo 2009 and taking 8 months to edit it. I have been very lucky having the support and encourgement of my writers circle : http://wfscsherwoodpark.com  We are open to virtual members and I have actually made friends with a couple of VN ladies who have joined.

    Published or not – you are a writer. Good luck.

    1- Let friends and family you are NOW a writer, and DO have DEADLINES.

    2 Let them know what times you are at work, if you have a set time.

    3-I have a sign that I stick up on my office door, or on the wall over my head that says….WOMAN AT WORK DISTURB AT YOUR OWN RISK. If they interrupt me and it isn’t an emergency (Building is on fire, Blood gushing out of someone I love, Tornado has been seen on the way to where I’m working, Robber will be running through my work area in 5 sec.) I will point to this sign and ignore the rest.

     

    4- TURN OFF THE RINGER OF YOUR PHONES OFF! ! !  This is now a job. Invest in an answering machine.

      5- If you are writing about things you don’t want to tell some people, erotica, I am sure there is a back story line, so tell them that. ‘I’m writing a love story, or I’m writing a story about a female cop and a case she is on’. Then laugh and tell them “If I tell you any more I would have to kill you” (an old CIA, FBI tactics) that the publisher is touchy about letting the cat out of the bag early.

    5- BELIVE THAT YOU ARE A WRITER AND GO FOR IT. Stick to your guns and people will get use to not seeing your beautiful face for a day or 2 when you are on a good run. They will also welcome you going back to writing after a day or two of your grumpiness if you are having a bad case of writers block.
