How many words can you write in an hour? I can write between 750 and 1,000. So, I figured it out. If I could take off one week and just write, I could complete the manuscript for an entire book.
That’s right. If I wrote for 8 hours each day, I would turn out about 6,000 words. In five days, I would have 30,000 words. If I continued writing through the weekend, I would have 42,000 words.
Of course, I could also write more hours per day and finish the book in five days.
Or I could write a short book and be satisfied with 30,000 or 35,000 words.
If you can’t give up a whole week, can you give up one day a month? If so, you could write your book in just five months writing for a full day just once a month.
You could write it in five weeks by giving up just one day a week…
I think I’m going to give one of these a try. How about you?
