Ah, well, if you ever end up reading it, I will welcome any comments on the confusing or over-explained bits!

cherrystark 2020-09-25 17:33:47 UTC #73

Sounds like a plan

domisotto 2020-09-26 13:00:32 UTC #74

I finished at 8.9K so 900 words yesterday, with a lot of editing. My kid is still helping me, so that’s pretty good. But, boy, does she keep asking for spoilers... I am like

domisotto 2020-09-27 03:02:17 UTC #75

At 9.6 total, so 700 words, but I did a lot of editing with my kid—she’s now all caught up to the chapter I am currently working on; and on the next week batch of chapterettes of the Trapped by the Mafia. Wee!

How is everyone else?

I stayed up absurdly late last night to edit a chapter and add some more to a scene. Crashed, woke up to schedule my next batch of episodes and I plotted out the next arc of my story.

Congrats on the staff pick @domisotto 🥳🥳 you deserve it!

I finally got the break up scene I wanted written and more background on my MC

WillowTree 2020-09-27 04:03:19 UTC #78

I've set a goal for 14,000 words tomorrow. It's a full 100% free day off and I want to finally get to 80,000 words again!
My previous record for most words in a day was 12,500, so I should be able to do it if I just sit down and focus. I think I'm going to skip tomorrows upload as well so I can really focus on hitting this word count!

cherrystark 2020-09-27 04:22:45 UTC #79

Good luck on your goal. I've only been able to do about 1,500 words in a day before I go stir crazy

That's really impressive, don't burn yourself out. I can write a lot like that, but then I end up taking forever to edit it to my liking, and doing the editing all in one go is painful for me when I wanna continue the story.

14k in a day is insane
My max was 3k lol

WillowTree 2020-09-27 13:26:09 UTC #82

I'm only setting it so high since I have the day off and can commit to both high word count and good quality! I already know where the plot is going so I don't have to worry about figuring out what to write which will make it a lot easier

WillowTree 2020-09-27 13:27:40 UTC #83

It was actually on the original draft of this story that I
managed it! Before that my max in one day was 8000

WillowTree 2020-09-27 13:29:27 UTC #84

Usually I stick to 1-3k!

WolfUnderTheMoon89 2020-09-27 13:54:52 UTC #85

hahaha. thats great! and you manage to write so much

IntoTheTempest 2020-09-27 14:07:31 UTC #86

I was on the road most of the day yesterday + had DnD when I got home so I have to get all my updates ready (for both Wattpad and Tapas) ready today. No pressure.

domisotto 2020-09-27 14:37:41 UTC #87

Thank you, it was a total surprise, but, omg, the exposure is insane! I wish everyone had this kind of two days 🥰

@WillowTree that’s insane goal, so respect!

@IntoTheTempest preparing the updates is tons of work... go for it!

Been doing 1.5k everyday for a month till I reach 50k which takes a little above a month if I do it all perfectly. In total right now I've written around 38k with a break due to family visits. So far I'm loving the story so much.

domisotto 2020-09-27 15:53:31 UTC #89

1.5K is an excellent daily total. Yup, it amounts to a protonovel in like 6 weeks, and it is more doable than 1.7K. I always want to get there, but 1K is more comfortable for me.

Crusoe 2020-09-27 15:53:58 UTC #90

Woah y'all's schedules seem difficult! I could never write that much! I'm prescheduling some episodes right now

CttMaurice 2020-09-27 15:58:12 UTC #91

1k is certainly a healthy writing pace to have. There are days where I accidentally go slightly above 1.5k but that's only if the story is doing really well and I'm enjoying it a lot. But usually, it's even hard to get to 1.5k. Oh and I go at 50k mainly because I write light novel type stories where its just something to quickly sit down and enjoy. (It's a Japanese origin format btw)
