21 Day Novel Challenge Day 10- 50,000 Words in 10 days
Been following along, this is an amazing achievement!
Question – not sure if you covered this, thought I watched all the videos but I may have missed one. How long are your sprints? What do you between them? Do you take a break or are you plotting out the ideas for your next sprint?
The sprints vary in length. My optimum length is twenty minutes, so most of them are around that length. Some are much shorter, as I’ll often end a sprint when the chapter is done.
Some days I take really long breaks, but over the last few I’ve been experimenting with much shorter ones. That’s worked well. Today I finished writing by 10 am.
Congrats on reaching 50k words! That’s a NaNo novel in 10 days – impressive. I’m finding your series inspirational and have been having a go at implementing sprints myself, with some success. It’s a useful technique for fitting writing into small periods of time around my day job.
