How many words do you write a day?
Like working out, I can never stick to writing for longer than a few days before failing miserably and doing nothing.

You just gotta do it no matter what bro

Shitposts contain words

3-6k a day for like two weeks, on stretches where the story captures my utmost attention and I enjoy the process of writing it. Afterwards, if it's not done or close to it, the process becomes an unendurable slog.
>>
i care more about content than word count, but ifs easy enough to knock out like 1000k every other day

I said its easy to do, not that it's my average.

y-you cant think up 500 words of good content per day?
>>
>>8109529
If I did I wouldn't refer to it as "knocking it out".
>>
>>8109533
Lol look at Shakespeare over here
>>
i write at least a few hundred words worth of shitposts everyday
>>
>>8109536
To knock something out is to do something lazily and poorly.
>>
>>8109545
Only if you want it to be. Plus you'll be editing that dogshit anyway so why act all prissy.
>>
>>8109549
Still seems a funny thing to say directly after claiming you care more about content. Why not knock out that much every day? Or twice that? You're only going to edit it anyway.
>>
>>8109558
Alot easier to edit if you keep it brief and to the point, I'm not one to shit all over a page but I dont pretend its perfect either.

Again 1000k a day is extremely easy to do, literally the average for many novel writers. I'm more into short stories and novellas so I dont even /need/ to plug out that much shit to fill the gaps, but I know I can easily do it.

When you're more focused on making sure your characters are on track and staying on theme, word count becomes quickly irrelevant. Its what you actually say that matters.

Anon if you were writing nonstop for 24 hours, you'd have to do almost 700 wpm to hit 1000k words in a day. 1000k words is 25 novels' worth of words.
