Writing stuff for the New Year

[ratherastory]

So I signed up for getyourwordsout and pledged myself for 350k words next year. It looks really intimidating at first, but then I went back and did a quick (or, really, not-so-quick) count of all my words last year, and, yeah, I can do it.

2010 published wordcount was ~450k

2010 total wordcount was ~505k.


So I can definitely make 350k next year. In fact, I am going to give myself a secondary goal of doubling my total wordcount between January 1st and December 31st 2011.

Yes, that's one million words, or an average of 2,740 words a day. I'm a little freaked out, but it's an exciting prospect, so. :)

I have plenty of other goals and projects for the New Year, but I figured I'd record the writing goal here, since this is where I do 99% of my writing these days.

How do you find the time and how do you deal with the writer's block? You're a writing machine!

You go, girl!!

I love that comm! 350K sounds like a lot, but you write so much and so well that I know you won't have any trouble meeting your quota.

We'll be rooting for you!

Hmmm. I kinda want to do that.

*ponders*

Also, where is the missing 55,000 words? Hmmm?
