You’ve got a reputation for pumping out tons of content. How much time do you spend writing every day? Do you have any tricks for keeping yourself on task?
Hi, Brian. Good luck with the book launch!
I write about 2,500 words a day, writing at around 500 words an hour. My production is more about being consistent than about being fast. I do tend to write around ten hours a day. Don’t know if I have any tips other than to perhaps turn off the internet or go outside and write for a while.
EDIT: Posted a little bit of clarity on the 2,500 words a day, and what I do with the rest of the time, below.
If you write about 500 words an hour and write for 10 hours a day? Isn’t that 5000 words a day?
I see that doing good at math isn’t very important as an author. ^ ^
Ha. I should have been clear. You’re absolutely right to point this out.
I spend a large amount of time each day answering email, working on the wiki for my worlds, planning new books, and revising. Many days, I actually do around 3500 words, but the average tends to be closer to 2500 or even 2000 once editing and everything is factored in.
