I believe I’ll speak for most when I ask: how on earth do you maintain such a prolific output of quality material? You don’t slow down, you don’t let up, you don’t put out tripe… how is this possible?
This is a tough one for me to answer, sometimes, because I don’t think I write all that quickly. I do about 2000 words a day, most days. That’s 250 words an hour working a normal schedule, and I often work more.
250 words an hour is NOTHING. Try typing a few emails, and you’ll find out how fast 250 words goes by. I think for me, there are two secrets.
First, I jump projects often. I understand my own psychology, and I know that nothing gets me revved up for writing than doing something fresh and new. This can mean returning to a series, if I haven’t been working on it for a while, or it can mean doing a novella or the like.
Second, I’m just very consistent. I write a little each day, and I love what I do. I spent ten years writing books and earning no money from it. Why would I slow down now that people are actually reading my works? It’s incredible!
