That's fair enough! I usually write 1.7k words a day when I do write, this is an attempt at habit building for me.

Hello all, hope we're all doing good! Is anyone else planning on doing a 50k writing sprint this month? It's the first time I've actually felt like a "writer" when this month has come around so I'm gonna give it a go! Anyone else?

Thank you! I think it's because I'm a total beginner so I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. 😅

Oh that's a great idea, actually! I don't know why but I always think so rigidly when it's my story and I can kind of...do what I want. 😅 And thank you, I will. 🩷

I have 19 chapters of my main novel 4 chapters of another Half a chapter of another And then three worldbuilding booklets. I like to have multiple projects going, just so when I get stuck I can go to something else for a while.

I'm at chapter 19 at the moment (I am on fire at the moment) and I think I average between 1300 - 2000 words per chapter. I've come up with a few things I want to happen but I'm still worried my book is going to be too short, or I'm going to run out of predicaments to put my characters in. 😅...

I am totally pantsing it so...no idea. 😅 My characters met in Ch11 and they've pretty much only just started their journey, but I have a rough idea of what emotional/adventure beats I want to hit specifically. I'm just going where the writing is taking me and letting it be bad for now instead...

Oh, totally relatable. I have other projects on the side too. The ADHD brain flitters about like a highly distractible butterfly. 🦋 It's not always a bad thing, though. I find that when I get stuck on one thing, I've always got something else to work on until I get my mojo back. (I can't...

Thank you! 🩷 I'm very used to diminishing my own achievements, I'll confess that much—but I do actually feel proud of what I've done. I'm sat with fifteen chapters, now, and that's so many more than I thought I'd be capable of!

5 chapters is still impressive! I believe in you!

I will!

Thank you!!

It's such a good feeling! I know exactly what you mean. (And also thank you!)

Hello all! Hope you're all well. ♥️ Uh, not really a question, just a minor celebration of getting eleven chapters into my novel. I know it's not much, but I struggle with my mental health and it feels huge! I'm learning how to actually apply myself and make myself write everyday instead of...

There's something powerful in knowing that it wasn't totally hopeless for women back then. Kind of make me teary-eyed as a survivor. Thanks for sharing!
