Is 5,000 words per day Possible? « EK’s Star Log577
Save to - del.icio.us - Digg it - reddit - StumbleUponNope, neither; just writers. Writers who write for a living (ie they get paid to write in order to put food on the table and buy clothes for thier kids), write a lot and write a lot every day. For them, 10,000 words a day is just more of the same old same old, because they’d be writing 10,000 words per day even if they were not here on NaNo.
Yes, dear. It is very much possible to write 10,000 words a day. Provided that you’re not doing anything else but that.
Right now I’m doing an average of 2200 words a day. Then again, I’m writing in chunks of at-least-315-word articles at about seven per day.
Hope you’re doing well, dear. Have a happy new year!
You know, I think that it is unnecessary to write 5k or 10k words… The more lapidary you will, the better for articles.
P.S. Thanks for interesting blog.
CarrollCharo, is that when the pro-blogging life will get you? Not bad. <laugh> Maybe I’ll look into that in the future. =)virens: You’re right, it’s not just about the quantity. Editing is good, too. And experiencing other things in life, of course!
You’re welcome! Thanks for reading and commenting. =)
Just curious, what keyboard do you use to write all of these words? I’m still on the quest for the perfect one, as my recent-model Microsoft Natural and my Happy Hacking both seem ‘close but not quite’.
I type at about 90 wpm on either the Dvorak or QWERTY keyboard layouts on an IBM Thinkpad keyboard. I should measure my speed on my ultraportable too, although I hardly use that for typing these days. I’m also experimenting with speech recognition, which should be interesting. The bottleneck for me is my brain, although speech is intriguing because it lets me get all my thoughts out first without even thinking about typing…
No fancy keyboards over here, can’t be bothered to tote them around or be confined to one place. =)
Charo - HAH. Serves me right for using speech recognition. I’ll teach it to spell your name in the future.
HAH! That’s why proofreaders still have jobs!
I’m not problogging actually. Just a regular writer for a contact somewhere in the US. I’ve also started proofreading as well. Although if everything works out, I might start writing for another blog. Nothing solid yet.
