Good Day Today

2000 words. I got a healthy amount of words in + recorded a video that will go live on my channel tomorrow about PerfectIt 5, a proofreading app I’ve been using for quite some time. They’ve upgraded it and wow, it is amazing. Be on the lookout for it. I also got my...

Things Are Coming Together

3258 words today. I have been working on Indie Author Confidential Vol. 7 for the past couple days while I devote some brainpower to preparing Rat City for publication, so I had a good word count day today. The first fact checker got feedback to me and it was very...

More Progress T’Day

0 words again, but I WILL be writing after I publish this post so I’ll end today with non-zero word count. I wrapped up my final master loop and am officially done with the novel. Here’s what I did today: * Finished final loop and got everything into as best alignment...

Preparation for Publication Begins

0 words today, but I did a lot of work. First, I reviewed the outline and cleaned it up to match what I wrote. I only had to make some minor corrections here and there. My spreadsheet is fully populated and ready for the future. Second, I started doing my final loop...

It is Done

6332 words today. I got the novel done!!!!!! Man, this was a long one. It clocks in just shy of 75K. I feel great about this one, but the final chapters did shake some things up that I may need to correct in Book 1—thank goodness I didn’t publish it yet LOL I learned...

Coming Along

4105 words today. Another killer day, but I’m not done yet. The novel is sitting at 68,000, which officially makes it my longest novel ever. I might break 70K at this point, which is insane. Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Power Hour Today. I did around 2000...

Quota Day 2

3668 words. Today was a very good day, especially considering that I intentionally kept my word counts low today, so this would have easily been a 5000-6000 word day if I didn’t review a few chapters that I had previously written. Also, some good news. After I...

Quota Day 1

2608 words today. Vote on my next book at the end of this post. As a refresher, last night I changed up my strategy: * 2000 word per day quota until Saturday or the end of the novel, whichever is first *I’m switching to looping every 1000 words so I can focus on...

Gangsta Day Today

5639 words today. KA-POW! Put some salt on this steak, cuz it’s sizzlin’!!!! All-around killer day today, and my word count was about 40 or so words higher than yesterday, so I managed to beat my average. Between yesterday and today, I did 11,000 words. Funny how...

Zooming, Zooming, Zooming!

5600 words today. YESSIR, BABY!!! THAT’S exactly the kind of day I needed for Beast Mode, son! Honestly, I killed it today, which felt really, really good. I started off getting words on my phone, then switched to dictation, which netted me about 2000 words, and then...
