365 days of writing

12/31/2018

1 Comment

 
Last year at this time I didn't specifically set out to write every day in 2018. I actually just set out to finish my WIP. Write every day until it was finished. I finished a first draft by May/June. By that time, I'd written every day so I decided to continue. And today I officially can say that I wrote every single day in the year 2018. 

Not every day was spent writing on a WIP. There were some days where I wrote down my thoughts - some journaling if you will - to work some things out in my head. I journaled after losing a friend to suicide. I journaled during some tough times on familial relationships. To show for 365 days of writing, I have first drafts of two manuscripts, a detailed outline of another project and a couple of short stories started.

I've typed over 150,000 words this year, which works out to a little over 400 words a day!

​Now on to editing!
