Making Real Progress Now…

I’ve shifted into a new gear with my writing. Still working on six books at once, but now I’m stretching myself to write no less than 2,000 words per day. So far, this is what I’ve produced for the past week.

As of today, I’ve written another 2,006 words, and I may crank out more later on this evening. At this rate, I will be able to add roughly 60,000 words to each of my current works in progress by the end of the year, which should mean that I finish all six books. This would be a major accomplishment for me.

My hope is, as I continue to push myself toward greater and greater productivity, that I shall soon be able to finish a book a month or less (yes, you read that right). At only 3K words a day, consistently, that’s achieved. Of course, I’m still drawing my inspiration from Amanda Hocking at this point. Girl writes an entire novel in a week. Mind-blowing. But not outside the realm of possibility.

I’ve found that working on six books simultaneously has its advantages. I can still generate my requisite number of words, even if I get stuck somewhere, merely by shifting my efforts to a different book. So long as I work consistently on the same six books, I’m able to move everything forward toward completion.  As it stands right now, my works in progress, with word counts, are:

So there you have it. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s become of this list in another five and a half months. For now, I”m getting back to work.
