Well. I've been wanting to put my social networking stuff into a regular schedule, starting on 1 January and keeping to it as consistently as possible.
I lasted until 5 January.
Terrible, I know.
I have a really good excuse, though.
I've started working on Book 3 of The War of Six Crowns again, and boy did I hit my stride. I even wrote a whopping 10k words on January 5th. Which means for the first time in my life, I really feel like I can make and cross 100k words in one month. (Less, actually, given that I've only started writing on the 5th.)
Crazy, I know, but I really want to see if I can do it. Preferably without burning out.
My strategy was to write as much as I could for the past few days, and see if I could catch up to par for 50k (since I started late.)
It went so well that I'm on par for 75k words. In fact, I'm a day ahead. Which means I only need 6k words to get on par for 100k.
After that, it's 5k a day. Which I might actually make quite easily, given how the words just keep coming at the moment.
That said, I don't want to crash either.
So I'm going to write today's 6k words in 30 minute sprints, followed by 15 minute rest periods, to see how that goes.
Hopefully it works out. Cause it'll be awesome to have Book 3 done.
How are you doing? Anyone want to sprint with me? I'm using #100kchase on Twitter to call my sprints, if you want to keep me company.
Wow - 10k in one day! Very impressive :-) Good luck with achieving your 100k goal. At the rate you're going, I think you'll get there easily.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your writing goals. .. it good when the motivation comes ♡
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an incredible pace! I can't imagine writing that many words in one day. Go, Misha!
ReplyDeleteThat's some amazing word count there Misha. Best of luck. Might just join you on that 10 K chase twitter sprint. You can use Buffer to help schedule some Twitter and Facebook posts in advance. So you can keep things topped until you regularly use social media on your own.
ReplyDeleteDude. You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations! I'm in the process of revising/editing. Very slow...
ReplyDeleteCongrats, that is mind-blowing. If I didn't have a ton of publisher duties, I'd join you so I could finish my own book.
ReplyDeleteHoly crow! That is amazing. Keep on writing! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an awesome amount of words, congratulations! Hope they keep on flowing for you and you reach your target. Happy writing.
ReplyDeleteImpressive word counts girl. I wish I could get that out of myself. I will keep working on it,

ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Congrats on the word count! I'm in the process of working on one of my projects. I hope that you'll be able to keep pumping out those words.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck!
I envy your daily word count and dedication. Here's to an even more productive year!
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like you're writing a ton! Keep it up, everything else can wait:)
