I hereby swear that I will not write for more than 1 hour per day. For now, that means a 2k chapter and a proofreading session, but I might get faster, who knows? Now excuse me as I start to read about networking! (Yes, I am pretty proud that I must do it for my new job. Supper happy too!)

Happy writing, everyone!

I tend not to write daily, in fact I can go quite a while between writing at times (life gets in the way and my life isn't that busy) so I am basically a binge writer, my last writing session I started with nothing and went to bed with around 21k words (broke my old record by about 5k), I don't recommend it, completely wiped me out for days. Next day I did manage to finish the story with another 3k words and still editing it days later (will do that a LOT because I am a fast and messy typer) but I also need to pace myself and recover.

Finally getting back into writing and had the goal of being a 2,858 club person for this week (I wanna see if I can do 20k words over break) but I usually only get about 1k words if I'm lucky.

1K, 2K, whatever keeps you going. The words inspire. I get blocked, confused, but keep going. Nine times out of ten the words lead me where I need to go. And if some of the words look stupid later, well, that is what revision is for. Keep going!

How the heck do you write 2k words in an hour??? It takes me a freaking week to do that :blob_teary: . Even excluding the time I'm not actively writing, it's at least a 6 hour commitment :blob_blank:

I hour to write 2k words. I wonder what you could be typing haha. Personally, I take 2.5 to 3hours to write and edit the said 2k words
Wonder if there is anyone here with over a million words in their books(Learned after reading over 3k chapters of xianxia)

Maybe you should learn touch typing? I learned it on ratatype and keybr. First, start with ratatype. Here is a link:


An outline also helps!

I hope you have a wonderful evening! =)

Well, I played never-ending story a lot as a kid. The thing is, I spent my childhood in a boring, boring village. With my grandparents, you know. And until first grade, I found it difficult to read, so there was nothing to keep the boredom at bay. And I wasn't allowed to do kid stuff without my brother, who had a crush on the granddaughter of my grandparent's neighbor, and she didn't want me there.

So, I started off with a bunny, who is a part of a mafia (tells you a lot about Bulgaria at that time, doesn't it?), and then I built up on the story in the garden, sitting under an apple tree, with a blanket under me.

Grandma always wondered why some of the blankets were dusty, but she never caught me. Good too, or otherwise she would have made sure I wouldn't be able to sit for a couple of days.

She was a firm believer of crime and punishment. XD (And I was a firm believer of getting away with things...)
