1k a day to keep the gremlins away is a great achievement and I hope everything works out great for you!
Let me know when it comes out.

Thanks Deposed! I really like it and hope everyone else does too.
11k would be a dream come true for me, as would writing full time. For now I just write as much as the kids and wife will let me ;D

I am writing full time (at least for now) and while that 11k is a dream come true, the last part of what you said is still a big part of the equation for me ???
By the way how much did your cover set you back? Inquiring minds want to know.

heh. Well done. My personal high is 14.5 k but that was in really exceptional circumstances; 5k a day is the absolute most I can keep up with any consistency when doing it full time. (Which has only happend in this past decade during a fortnight between one job ending and another beginning.)

During Book 1 and 2, 5k a day was the most I could average also. Then my brother started writing, putting in 10-20k days and Chris Nutall another writer I knew online said he did 8-10k days routinely and it all must have inspired me. I've been averaging 6-9k days for the past two weeks.
But ultimately it isn't not how fast you can write, its your dedication to finishing the book. The hare ran almost all the way to the finish line and then fell asleep, and while the plodding tortis kept on it steady and beat him over the finish line.
Consistently write anything over and including 500 words a day, day in and day out and you can make it as a writer.
Thanks for the compliment Neuro.
Everybody keep your chins up and stay inspired. Speed isn't everything, its grit and determination to never quit that ultimately are the most important.
