*Cleans equipment and puts it away properly, holds door open for person walking in*

WOW that's a lot of energy for a writer.  I went from ~4500 words a week, 6k on a good one, to about 5k a night.  Until I got sick anyways.  Stupid flu.  Getting back on track again, but still only back up to about 3k a night right now.

I've been writing about 2k-3k words a day, which is a rather large amount when you consider the fact I only write at a pace of about 600 words per hour

Coming up on 7k today, nearly finished a chapter, but I'm taking the weekend off, so I average around 3.5 to 4k a day I guess?

Worst thing about it is I need a new chair, all this sitting is giving g me hellish backache... 

5k OVER THE WEEKEND. WEAK, BUT I GOT 2.5k YESTERDAY ON A WEEKNIGHT. GOOD GAINS. TIME TO MAKE SOME CHAPPYS HAPPEN. OOOOORAAAH

Been doing about 1-2k a day.  Best day was 4k.  Trying to write around work and family so its pretty rough, but it is progress.

I finished my writeathon word count in two weeks, all backlog.  Took three days off to play Genshin Impact and do some mindless shit after, while letting a particularly stumping chapter marinade.  Finished that chapter yesterday so back to full bore 5k a day, is the plan.  It's getting harder, I'm writing a bit of a crime investigation arc and that's outside my comfort zone.

5k a day is too much for me, I need breaks lol. I did 8k the last chapter in a day and a half, completely wiped me out. I buried myself into WoW last night/today. Back to the grind when I wake up later. I'm low on food for another four days which I've found makes writing more difficult for me personally.

Also my chapters are getting progressively longer even though that's not my intention. I was 2700 my first chapter, increasing to 4k, then 6k, and now 8k.

REMINDS ME OF A STORY. ONE DAY A QUEEN HAD A READER WHO SHE WAS PLEASED WITH AND ASKED WHAT THEY WANTED. *Does curls while shouting* THE READER GAVE HER A CHESS BOARD AND ASKED THE QUEEN FOR 1 WORD ON THE FIRST SQUARE. TWO ON THE SECOND, FOUR ON THE THIRD.... DOUBLE WORDS EVERY PANEL UNTILL THE BOARD WAS FULL. THE QUEEN WAS HAPPY TO ACCEPT WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS A SIMPLE REQUEST. AT FIRST IT WAS TOO EASY, BUT AS THE NUMBER KEPT DOUBLING THE AMOUNT THE QUEEN WAS WRITING BECAME ABSURD.

THAT QUEENS NAME? PIRATEABBA.

BIG GAINS!!!!

Did a solid 6.5k today, though it was a close-run thing as it took a LOT more editing than usual...

I'm not going to lie to you I don't think it's sustainable either, I'm just riding a wave right now.  For months my average was closer to 3k November was a hell of a month for some reason.  It's probably the daylight shortening, I don't have as much time to get outside which puts me in front of my screen more. 

Aye, I feel the pain of the lengthening chapters. I've been aiming to keep them 2.5-3k average, but for some reason the average seems to be 4k nowadays and often more...

Not sure what's causing it, but the writeathon seems to be making it worse lol....

"Quit? Bro, go!" shouted Clarice, slamming her fists together with such force the shockwave broke Lecter out of his glass prison. Like leaves against a blower, the questionnaire sprayed accoss the room, ripping her to shreds. Clarice didn't seem to mind. Her gains would sustain.

*hits 56k words*
