Writing Process

I have been trying to sit everyday and do some writing to make progress on my book. I find it difficult to sit and think about specific days and moments in my life when I am trying to sit and focus. I have so many things going on in my head and things I want to do I find it very difficult to stop and do that one thing. Some days I can sit and write 3000 words and some days I am lucky to get down 30. But I suppose 30 is better than 0 (although I have those days as well). I wonder what others writing processes are that are just starting out writing or have years of experience. I am taking a creative writing class to help me figure out how to better explain things in words so that when people read it they can see it. I also got multiple books from the book store to hopefully help me to find motivation to keep going.

I know this is all on me and if I want to complete this goal I will just hunker down and get it done. I have given myself til the end of the year to get my first draft written and put together. That leaves me about 2.5 months left to write and see where I can get. As this is my first book I have written I know it will take much more time to go back through and edit it all but I am also excited to see what someone else thinks about it and how I can make it better. If you are a writer, I hope you find time to get your stories completed and shared with others. I look forward to reading more during this process and journey as well.
