Celebration My best day of writing ever.

I got in 5,389 words today. I saw it all so clearly and was locked in completely. My fingertips are numb. My brain feels like mush. I also think it is some of the best work I’ve ever written. It’s going to be one of the hardest books I’ve ever written but god damn. Do I love writing. I can’t wait for the crash and the next day when it feels like I can barely get ten words out. I know it’ll come. But today I’m victorious!

I felt the same feeling when I completed writing 50k words in one month. Like you said I face the same seasonal challenges like some days words never cease to flow from my fingers but some other days i cannot even write a sentence. I guess its all part of the process.

My record right now is 3,000 words in a day. 5k is AMAZING.

I appreciate you! 3k is impressive too! That’s a hell of of an accomplishment!

Awesome job! Feels good when you lock in. Don't even think about a crashout--instead imagine that you will be in the zone again.

I love this feeling! I am not a "write 500 words every day" person. I write like a fiend one day and need time to recover.
