I tripped over this one a few weeks ago. Lifehacker, among other respectable sources (here, here and here) and even a Reddit thread, have reported that switching your manuscript to the Comic Sans font makes your words flow unbelievably faster.

Total for the week: 4,335 words. I was blindsided by something completely out of left field last week. I got a few words written on Monday, but my motivation sank into the mire on Tuesday, despite flailing myself with guilt and panic messages (as I’m already so far behind!) Of course, Canada and parts of

Total for the week: 2,746 words. The week’s wordcount is a couple of blog posts and some lengthy reader emails. I didn’t get to breaking ground on the new novel last week (but I started this week). It puts me a little behind again, but nothing serious. Onward. t.

I came across a journal entry from 2018 recently that made me nod even more fervently than I did when I wrote it. I’ve cleaned it up and add it below for you to ponder upon. About using the time you have, now. I wish, I wish, I wish I had understood this when I

Total for the week: 22,308 words. It was an okay week. One of the days was used for plotting and another for post-production on the book I finished this week (which is book #1 for the year)–I spent a day of writing time doing the clean up of the book I finished so I could

As I write this post, I’m looking back at a week of writing that just didn’t happen. Oh, I got a few words down, and I have been focused upon getting the writing done, including a new switch up in routine to keep it fresh. But the first half of the week was a disaster.
