Got a little more wordcount than I expected for a Saturday, and am calling it good. A cuppa, the couch, and a history book are whispering my name.

Not normally a wordcount guy, but I have instated a household rule of 1000 words drafted per day during the drafting of this book.

Now I only track wordcount to make sure Im not overshooting the mark, and I dont do sprints or challenges.
I do play prompt games with my writing group, though.🥰

I did Nanowrimo for years. It got me into the habit, but it wasn't helpful for my writing. I found myself writing filler just to keep up the wordcount.

Anyway, the wombats are going to have to wait for tomorrow. I got my wordcount, but I'm also exhausted.
The dog is already on my bed. He's having no more of this Monday business, and I think I'll follow suit.

It is an absolutely perfect autumn morning, weather-wise. Boxnoggin had a marvelous walkies; I now have a couple plasters on my hand and some wordcount to hit.
I am, however, gonna make a cuppa and absorb it in peaceful fashion, watching the trees drop their leaves.

Officially past the 2/3rds mark for this first draft! The end is near, but hopefully not much less than 20k words away. 😅

I've just sent in the revisions for my most ambitious book review to date. Sadly, almost all the revisions were cuts because I was over double the wordcount. I'm still well over the wordcount, but it's a review of a very large volume and the publishers have been very understanding.

#weeknightwriters I'm feeling pretty good! Been doing about a chapter a day (ya, so they're fairly short) and I'm currently ahead of my wordcount goals by about 2k!
Q1: How are you feeling about your #FirstDraftFall progress so far? Excited? Disheartened? #WeeknightWriters

A good day's wordcount on both projects, though one has been significantly more cooperative than the other. And the rain has moved in again, closing out a pretty spiffy day.
I'll take it.

Let’s take a ‘normal’ session undertaken during the manic drafting phase of a project (a phase that lasts about 3-4wks once every 18mo or so.)
Session should be approx 2hrs min.
Avg wordcount would be approx 1000 to 3000 words.
NaNo saw an avg of 2200 per day.

Christ woman did you come up for air while typing all that shit? Did you eat at some point? Fucking hell she must have been at it literally all day. That's the kind of wordcount to time spent ratio an editor would kill for.
