I sent off my Non-Fiction Book to the editor. I wrote in less than a month. I worked on it for about 3-4 hours a day and within a couple of weeks the rough draft was done. I reworked a few things and now it is off to the editor
That was only 10,000 words.
I want to write 100,000 word book.
Then other ideas pops into my head. I jot them down. I think they are brilliant. Wait, I have to finish the novel that I am working on now. I have the book cover, characters and plot. I need to finish this book, but I also want to start this new series, oh but wait, what about my memoir?
I think my head is going to explode.
So I did some research this morning, when I should of been writing.
If you write 500 words a day, in one year you would have written 289,755 words in one year.
That could be 2 novels plus or 4 shorter novels, plus
If you write 1,000 words a day, in one year you would have written 365,000 words in one year.
So if you want to write a 75,000 word novel, that would come out to 4.87 books a year.
So think about that. 1,000 words a day is doable. If not, start with 500 words a day.
The goal is not the word count, because some days you might write more, other days less.
The goal is to write everyday, no matter what.
So from this moment on, my goal is to write 1,000 words a day, on my novels or short stories. I am not going to count blogging or my non-fiction books.
So what do you think? Want to see your book published? Want to prove to your family, co-workers and friends that you are a writer, as you hand them your published book?
I have a calendar. From this moment on, I will be tracking my word count. I will keep you posted.
Keep On Writing.
