So far this year I’ve written in excess of 70,000 words, either for work, or for this website and other personal writing projects. I hope to hit 100,000 words by year end as I’ve resumed writing in my novel, which is now about 14,000 words and, oh, certainly in the first quarter of development. I’m feeling better about the pace, for now, though I may be impelled to jump ahead so’s I know where I’m going.
With that figure in mind, I will average one word every five-and-a-quarter minutes.
I’m not including emails.
Like the poster…(and am tempted to ask whether you’re counting images in that word total, in the standard conversion rate, of course)
