Daily Word Count Diet!

I've always known that writing a little bit a day is better than not writing anything at all, even if what you do write is later erased.



It's simple math: write something every day and it will add up.



If you go around calling yourself a writer, and don't do any writing, it's a bit of a let down feeling, to you, and probably to the people who are waiting to see what you create next.



For example, if you write 500 words a day, and there are 365 days in the year. If you stick to that, you will have written 182,500 words. That is four minimum-length (40k) novels.



And there are no excuses to not being able to write 500 words a day and still call yourself a writer. Depending on what kind of writer you are that is... for me, I am a planner, I plan everything out... and that way I will always have something to write when it comes down to putting my fingers on my laptop. (Or pen to paper.)



I do write something everyday. Although some days I write more than 500 words, which is what I've been doing for the past couple of days as I've been on Christmas break, so I've been churning out 3,000 words a day. And yes, I will be the first to admit that none of it is awesome right now, but that's the importance of drafting... so as long as you have the bare bones of the story out, there shouldn't be any issues with drafting it.



Just don't delete anything. I see so many people say that they've deleted so many words after writing them the night before and I'm like this...



Ha! I hope you're all having a great day!




Do you have any daily word count goals?
