FROSTBORN: THE MASTER THIEF: how long did it take to write?

Someone asked how I kept myself motivated to write the rough draft of FROSTBORN: THE MASTER THIEF in 22 days.

Practice, mostly. FROSTBORN: THE MASTER THIEF will be the 30th novel I have out, so I’ve done this kind of thing before. Additionally, when I write something new, I try to hit a minimum of 3,000 words a day. I don’t always do it,and sometimes I can go further, but 3,000 words a day is a good minimum.

Anyway, if you’re curious, here is how many words I wrote each day while writing FROSTBORN: THE MASTER THIEF.

Day 1 3/8/2014 5000

Day 2 3/9/2014 4000

Day 3 3/10/2014 5150
