I’m going to sit down five times today and write at least 600 words. That’s the plan.
This little table of word counts that I put into my spreadsheet fits just perfectly on the main page so I don’t have to flip between worksheets. I’m hoping it will keep me on track.
The 12 is minutes. I do find it easier to keep my pace high in shorter sessions, so that’s the reason for that.
12 is .2 hours so all my decimal equivalents for the day’s writing will be nice and even.
20 x .2 = 4 hours
Now, time to write. I’m going to update this post regularly with my session counts today, to keep my mind focused on my plan.
Update #1
273 words in 4 sessions. The screenshot from my spreadsheet shows how poorly I did during each session. Only the last one shows promise.
I spent most of my 4 sessions working my way through already written material so maybe I can make up for some of this deficit in the next group of sessions.
Update #2
495 words in 4 sessions. Still under-performing.
Update #3
475 in 4 sessions.
Resistance hasn’t won, but something is sure holding me back. I’ve not reached 600 a group yet.
Update #4
558 words in 4 sessions.
There’ll be no more updates tonight because I had a few interruptions and came up short on time.
I finished the fourth block in two batches of two sessions each (notice that 49 when I came back? Obviously lost some momentum there…) and won’t finish the last block at all. It’s already past my bedtime by an hour or more. :)
However, I do feel like this little plan worked great and I’m going to try to keep it going, starting with tomorrow. Tomorrow might just have 4 blocks, but we shall see if I can fit one more in there. :D
