I love Fridays and today I want to try something I don’t do
often enough, blog about writing. Before I start, congratulations are in order:
Drum roll please.........
Leigh Ann,
you won the swags and a copy of Betrayed in the
Freedom to Read hop, so e-mail me you addresses.
Now back to writing.
How many hours do you write a day?
Do you set aside hours/time to write?
Do you jump on where you left or revise what you’d written the last time.

I write whenever I can and when not dropping off or picking
up kids. Between 5 kids and a husband, I’m lucky if I write continuously for
hours. But I want to try something different and this is why.
I came across a fellow author’s blog and she wrote her book,
400 pages, in two weeks. Two freaking weeks? I was like, no way? That meant she
wrote 28-29 pages a day. Since I am competitive and believe I can do anything
if I put my mind to it, I have decided to try this.
I plan to write a chapter a day on my present WIP.
A chapter, for me, is about 16 pages (4000 words).
6 days a week (one day break) puts me at 24,000 words
1 month at this pace totals 106,000 words.
Since my target is 100,000 words (400pages), I should be okay, right?
Hehehe.
Lofty goal, right?
I know, I know. I have to keep in mind this is summer and I
have 5 kids to drive around and entertain. Still, I’m going to try.
Have you ever had a goal like this? I tried Nano last year
and actually made my goal of 50,000, so maybe, just maybe I might swing this.
Wish me Luck!
Here's where I am today, Friday 6th
