A Piece Of My Heart

Writing Speed Stats

I did an experiment today. I set a timer for an hour and wrote constantly through that whole hour just to see how many words I could get out and get a better judgement of how long I will need to dedicate to writing per day to reach my Nano goal. It was really illuminating! Here are the stats:

Writing time: 1 hour
First 30 minute word count: 1326 words
Second 30 minute word count: 1280 words
Total word count: 2606 words
Average words per minute: 43.4333

So, it looks like I did slow down at the end, which is probably due to a few reasons. First, I was running out of things to write about, and second, my fingers were getting a little worn out I write all day for work too, so carpel tunnel might be in my future. I'm not too worried though, so long as this book gets written

This writing session this morning also pushed me over the halfway point in my practice Nano! I have over 25K words written in October (only counting my blog and OctoPrep assignments)! Yay! That's an accomplishment, I think! Only one day late too.

Now, time to tackle this Wodehouse thing
