WIP Wednsday

April 22, 2009 | WIP Wednesday

When I first became serious about writing for publication, I read somewhere that it takes about a million words to find your voice. A million words sounded so daunting.

Even back in the day when I rose predawn to get a couple of quiet writing hours in before my day job, I averaged 500 words a day, works out to 150k plus per year, allowing for holidays, vacations, and so forth. Considering that I key in half again as many words as I keep, that’s really over 200k per year.

Looking back, it was year four when I started getting useful feedback, and then sold.

There are those who sold the first word they even entered and who never plot. If that’s you, don’t bother commenting–I already hate you.
