I wanted to close out June with a successful week. Despite the fact I was one the road (again), this time attending the David R. Collins Writers’ Conference sponsored by the Midwest Writing Center at the campus of Augustana College, I managed to get in a sensible amount of writing done.
The stats:
Writing statistics for the week ending 29 June 2024:
6,272 words written.
Days writing: 7 of 7.
Days revising/planning: 3 of 7 for 270 total minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 7 of 7 days.
Writing Statistics for June 2024:
27,664 words written.
Time Revising/Planning: 750 minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met: 97% of the time.
So, this would be a good week for me under any circumstances, even as I’ve been trying to get caught up to where I should be at this point of my year. As some past readers might be aware of, I now am attempting to write a minimum of 200,000 words per year and meeting my daily goals at least 75 percent of the time. This week is above that pace and more.
This month was easily the most productive writing month I’ve had this year. Not sure if it is my most productive month ever, but I’m a bit too lazy to look through all my records to find out for sure.
I’ve now got a good look at where I am for the first half of the year. Although I’ll get into it in the newsletter this Saturday, I believe I’ve finally caught up to where I should be after a few months of excessive commuting due to life issues.
That’s it for now. Take care, everyone.
