At last, I had a week I would call not just acceptable from a writing productivity standpoint but actually good.
Here’s the stats for last week:
Writing statistics for the week ending 13 September 2025:
Words: 5,054
Days writing: 7 of 7.
Days revising or planning: 0 of 7 for 0 minutes.
Daily Writing Goals Met (500+ words or 30 minutes of planning/revisions): 5 of 7 days.
Considering I was a bit behind my pace of attempting to write 225,000 words this year, a decent week last week and these numbers this week made me happy. To make sure I’m ahead of my pace, I should try and aim for 5,000 words per week (which is pretty heavy for me traditionally).
Part of putting things together this week was getting back to work on stories I haven’t had much time or inclination to get restarted. I spent much of last week adding more to my sequel to my debut novel, The Holy Fool (Currently called The Fool 2). If I get into some other dormant projects, I hope to have other favorable results.
That’s it for now. I hope all of you writers have a good writing week.
