A Chapter a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Category: GeneralJeremy Wright @ 12:58 pm

I started, and finished, Chapter 3 today.

Now I’m going to lay down and die.

This is what happens when you fall behind. You die. This is my lesson to young, budding, excited authors ;-)

    So how many of your nine lives do you have left?
    =8P

    Has a distinct ring of finality. Kind of harsh, work hard and die.

  3. Nathan says:

    If you could get a chapter done each day, you’d have written way more than one book. ;)

    Let us know how death is.

  4. Jon says:

    You should be proud if you managed to get one chapter done on one day.

    I’ve been stuck on chapter 11 for about 4 weeks now, don’t feel bad. Of course, to try and compensate, I started a short story and I feel even worse because now I have TWO things not done!

  6. Matt Thornton says:

    You mean you have draft 1 of Chapter 3 complete. If you can write an entire chapter of final copy in a day (assuming the chapter is more than 15 words…) then you’re in the wrong business…

    25 pages of writing is 25 pages of writing. I stand proud, exhausted, and ready to spend 4 hours editing today :D

  8. Matt Thornton says:

    Font size 20 and triple spaced? :p

  9. Jeremy C. Wright says:

    Nooo… Standard publishing templates, spacing, fonts, etc! :p

    Warning heard, heeded and taken to heart.

    Oh, wait, you said ‘young’ and ‘excited’. Obviously can’t have been talking to me, then.
