I've been doing the math on how much I'd need to write per day to meet the goal of 50,000 words in November. It's 1,667 words per day, but I didn't know how long that might take & I don't have hours to write every day. So I figured it out per minute...
If I could write 5 hours a day (which is unlikely to happen more than once or twice, with 2 small kids!), I'd need to average 5.56 words per minute. Not bad, but with less time the average would need to be: 4 hours - 6.95 words per minute 3 hours - 9.26 words per minute 2 hours - 13.9 words per minute 1 hour - 27.78 words per minute I'm at an advantage here because I can type about 70 wpm on a good day. Not that my brain will probably work that fast! But I am sure from experience that I'll be brainstorming ideas for the story a lot during my "off" hours, so maybe there'll be something to write (and maybe some notes in my PDA...) when I sit down for writing time. Realizing I could possibly do this without investing 4 or 5 hours of intensive writing every day has made me relax a lot about the whole thing! posted by Alison | 9:02 PM
