7098 words today. Yowza! Lot of fun news today.
First, I published a book. Indie Author Confidential Vol 4 is now live, but it’s still publishing in some places. Feel free to search for it tonight if you dare, but I’ll make the official announcement tomorrow. Book #54 is now published.
Second, I FINISHED another book today: 250+ Writing Tips, Vol. 2. It’s the “Writing Tip of the Day” book series. It clocked in around 46,000 words, but once I self-edit it, it will probably be closer to 48-49K. Vol. 1 was around 52K. So, Book #55 is now a thing.
My goal by 12/31/21 is 64 books. I have a long way to go…
Third, I kept my email inbox at zero all day, which…is an accomplishment.
I’m eagerly awaiting the return of my novel from my editor so I can start my new challenge.
CHALLENGE RECAP
I find that I have to repeat challenges in case people missed the earlier announcement. It’s called the 5-5-50,000 challenge.
For 10 days, I’m going to wake up at 5AM and write 5,000 words per day using dictation, writing on my phone, and perseverance. If I succeed, I’ll finish Book 2 of my urban fantasy series in 10 days, which means I can finish Book 2 before my next law school class starts.
I’ll begin once I receive Book 1 back from my editor and have the edits all accepted and the novel plugged into Vellum. That could be as early as Monday. So wish me luck.
Enjoy your Saturday night.
