Get it? Because words are important, but also because I have to count how many words I’m writing to finish a novel?
Hey, I didn’t say it was a clever title. Just that it’s a title.
A friend and I spent much of today doing “writing sprints”, just picking word count goals for an hour and then trying to hit them. I picked 1,000 word goals each hour, and have so far fallen short each time (although not by much, mostly landing around 750 words). I have 30 minutes left in the last sprint before I start making dinner and calling it a day… so far I’m 790 words finished, so at least THIS hour I’ll hit the target. Of course, I am lightly self-sabotaging, since I’m writing this post instead of continuing to work on the novel…
Regardless, I also have tomorrow (or most of tomorrow at least) to continue working on this. Which is good, because I’m a week and a half away from needing it to be mostly finished (minus second-draft editing). At this pace I’ll be fine, but that’s assuming I can maintain this pace… but I should be fine. It’ll be fine, right?
Right.
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
