![]() How much do you research for a book before you start writing? ![]() ![]() I use a spreadsheet to track deadlines (whether contractual or a personal goal), and it auto-calculates how many words I need to hit per day to reach deadline. I take care of administrative stuff first (e.g., email, social media & discord check-ins), then I have the rest of the day to plan/write/edit. My alarm goes off at 5 am every morning, though my dog tends to wake me up somewhere between 4 and 5 am to go outside. I write full-time which means I need to treat writing as a job (it just happens to be a job I absolutely love). What is your writing routine (Do you have a daily word count goal? Do you write whenever the spirit moves you?) If I wasn’t so easily distracted, I bet I could write a book in 4-6 weeks, no problem. It takes me about two months minimum to write a book. So, my average novel hits anywhere from 60 to 90-thousand words. I’m a “short” writer in that my books tend to be punchy with shorter sentences. What’s the average word count for the books you write and how long does it take you to write your average book? I’ve been writing for 12 years, all of that time spent writing fiction with some breaks to write nonfiction. How long have you been writing for and how much of that time have you spent writing fiction? ![]()
