A Little At A Time

I’ve mentioned before that in writing Incomplete States that I’ve written over one million words.

Thinking about that today as I’m almost finished with editing the fifth novel in the series, I decided to do more quantifying about it. I began writing the series in July, 2016, and completed it in July, 2018. I write almost every day, often even when on vacation and traveling. While it’s not exact, I guessed that I wrote about seven hundred twenty days since I began writing the series.

Dividing one million by seven hundred twenty, I estimate that I wrote less than fourteen hundred words a day.

That’s not a huge word count, but it shows what can happen by just keeping at it.
