I thought it would be longer...

I just saw a self-published author announce their new release, Book 1 in a series. It sounded interesting, and then I saw that "Book 1" is less than 10,000 words long. I am...less interested now.

NaNoWriMo: Mid-Month Charge!

Gregor Xane and I will be sprinting all day tomorrow (11/15/2014). If you're interested in joining us, let me know in the comment section below. 

 

Game Plan:

 

6AM: 30 minute non-WIP sprint. This bit of writing is all warm up and should not be anything else. You won't be writing on your work in progress. All you're doing is laying down as many words as you can to form complete sentences and paragraphs. 

 

630AM: 30 minute break. Time for a caffeine refill.

 

7AM and throughout the day: You will spend one hour writing on your WIP followed by a one hour break. This on again off again routine will continue all day longy. Meals and potty breaks should be scheduled so they coincide with your down time. 

 

Quitting time: You may quit anytime after your 1,667 words are done for the day, or you are caught up. If you are ahead, use this time to bang out a greater lead. I, myself, will be shooting for 10,000 words. Kids, do not try this at home. I'm a trained idiot under the supervision of no one.

 

This is about training, not perfection. Write whatever you can and worry about editing later. 

 

See you lovely writers and aspiring writers tomorrow!

Word Count vs. Page Count

Ever felt that the page count of a book wasn’t an accurate reflection of how much you’ve read?

 


My Goodreads page count

 

This is skewed.
