AnneMarie D*R***r
Congratulations, AnneMarie. If there’s any special dedication, let me know today before I send it off.
Meanwhile…
It’s been a long time since I had a solid 6,000+ word day. But today was one of those days. I finished Chapter 10 of Fortune’s Fool and moved on to Chapter 11, most of which is already done (non-linear writing makes for headaches, and a lot of fill-in-the-blanks later, but you gotta go where the words lead you).
I tend to create 2,000-4,000 words in an average writing day. My best was during the first draft of THE MASTER OF VERONA, when words were coming faster than I could type and I had a week of 10,000 word days. But that was seven years ago, before Dash, and before the complete fragmenting of my brain.
Anyway, more books to give away tomorrow! (and tomorrow, and tomorrow)

6K words in one day? Wow, just wow.
The best I ever did was some 1200, but my average …. well, we better don’t talk about slow writers with big, evil internal editors. 😉
Yeah, but the thing about big word counts – longer books. Nobody wants that, I hear…
Additionally – screw the internal editor. If that editor is bringing home a paycheck, then you can listen. Until then, stick with the professionals.
