Word Count!
KevinEvans:
I dunno,
I got 52K in 18 days for NaNo..... (had to finish early or I would have missed Loscon...)
Regards,
Kevin
Blaze:
Amazing to be able to do that much in a month! Maybe if I found a desert Island with wifi... LOL
Kali:
I... I couldn't even guess. It'd take hours to open up every document I wrote this year and get a word count on it, then add them up. Hundreds of thousands, based on the sizes of a couple of them.
LizW65:
Hard to say--do rewrites count? I did a full revision of my 126,000 word novel between February and August, and ended up cutting about 3000 words (plus making it actually readable!) Plan on doing my third revision of that manuscript soon. I also did about 60,000 words of a rough draft for NaNoWriMo, and am still working on that one. I'm about 1/2 way through.
On a related topic, I got a lovely new laser printer for Xmas, and installed it on my laptop today. ;D
KevinEvans:
Actually it is not that hard, to write 50 K in a month, you only need a little over 1667 words a day. That is about 7 pages, or about a third of a typical short story. ( or about 8 forum posts, Grin)
The biggest challenge for me is to quash my inner editor, and get the base story line down. Believe me the finished product rarely resembles the first draft.
Regards,
Kevin
