Now that I have completed the 30-day NaNoWriMo challenge, here is a look at what I did “by the numbers”. If you ask me, it’s pretty impressive:
- 61,131 words in 30 days. That’s an average of 2,037 words/day
- Wrote on 25 out of 30 days. If you count just those 25 days, I wrote an average of 2,445 words/day
- Wrote every one of the first 21 days without a break
- My single best day: Friday, November 12 with 3,862 words
- My single worst day: Sunday, November 21 with 1,875 words
- I finished the month 11,121 words ahead of NaNoWriMo pace
- At my high point on November 21, I was 17,027 words ahead of NaNoWriMo pace
- I spent a total of 46 hours at the keyboard doing actual novel writing
- That’s an average of 1,327 words/hour, or about 5 manuscript pages
Now consider that in addition to this, I also:
- Wrote 6,621 words of short fiction during this time
That brings my total fiction for the month of November to 67,652 words. That is utterly mind-boggling to me and it tells me that if I put my mind to it, I can write every single day
