I don’t think I went into this in my last post, but I have recently made a small change to my 2,000 words a day plan. I’m aiming for 2,400 words a day instead. Not because I want to actually average 2,400 words a day, because that has not changed. A 2,000 words a day … Continue reading The new plan for 2,400 words a day
I’ve pulled this from my previous post, because I want to isolate it and remember my reasoning. I’ve decided pretty definitively (sure sounds like it, huh?) that I’m going to try again to start averaging 2,000 words a day. Not just as an average though, but as a “more days than not” thing. I have … Continue reading The way to be prolific
It’s 9:18 in the morning and I’m going to start today’s writing soon. I prefer to write every day, so Sunday is no day off for me. I’ve tried taking weekends off, but I just do not do well when I change up my routine. I’m much better at sticking to something if I don’t … Continue reading July 8, 2018 Sunday writing
I’ve extended my daily writing streak of 500 words or more to six days now, squeaking by with 503 words. Here’s my log of word counts since I began the 500 words a day minimum. 10/31/17 – 517 11/1/17 – 533 11/2/17 – 520 11/3/17 – 1,004 11/4/17 – 515 11/5/17 – 503 As happened … Continue reading Six days now
Today I’m starting work on my book much later than I planned. Mostly because I’ve spent too much of the day thinking about a decision I made a couple days ago and trying to decide if it’s the right one. I’ve finally decided it is. Tuesday, I decided to lower my minimum word count for … Continue reading Focus on action and small wins; a new daily minimum
More words, fewer hours on Friday over Thursday, so that’s good. Yesterday (Friday) wasn’t as good a day as I’d hoped for, but it was my best day in 222 consecutive days. Prior to that, on the 223rd day, I had reached what is my current record word count for a day, 5,816 words, on … Continue reading Interesting results on something new
I tried to recreate Sunday’s success on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but no such luck. It just didn’t work and I’m at a loss to explain why. Word counts: Sunday (of course) = 2,073 (5.017 hours) Monday = 670 (2.4 hours) Tuesday = 379 (3.533 hours) Wednesday = 103 (.467 hours) I’m really not doing … Continue reading That stopped working surprisingly fast
Since I did so poorly yesterday, only 123 words and 15 minutes!, I’ve decided a challenge might perk me up today. It’s a simple challenge. Finish my 1,557 word minimum before I stop for lunch. :) I’ve finished breakfast and there’s nothing standing between me and lunch but time to fill. :D I’m going to … Continue reading A challenge for this second day of August to perk me up
I have a twenty-two day streak of writing every day going. Just one hundred and one more days and I’ll set a new record for myself. :D I’m definitely keeping my eye on that prize.
So far today I’ve written 664 words in 1.75 hours. That’s 379 words an hour. Considering I deleted a nice little chunk of words in my second session this afternoon, I’m not too disappointed. Words left to write today = 893 Hours needed to write them @ 379 wph = 2.353539157 I’d like to do … Continue reading That’s funny
