So, we moved this month. That hurt my production quite a bit. I also discovered online tournament poker at Full Tilt - I’m still fighting that one
My total for the month was 32,242 (1,075 wpd avg.) – a solid ninth place in my top ten months list. I felt okay about that finish considering from Sept. 9 – Sept. 15 (when we moved) my highest daily total was a whopping 863 (two other days were in the 700s and the other four were just above 500). But, on a positive note, I never missed a single day of writing the entire month.
Through the first nine months, I’m averaging 35,622 words per month. I am at 320,595 words for the year and seven chapters into my fourth novel (of this year). My total word count for last year was 286,417.
My goal for the month of October is to beat 37,800 words and to get some sort of schedule down for writing (which mostly involves me limiting my online poker playing – focus, David, focus.). Once I can settle into a routine I know my writing totals will go up.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.
