Here's a writing schedule I think I can maintain. If I consistently write 500 words a day, five days a week, I will finish the rough draft of my novel in 28 weeks. That's figuring for 70,000 words. By January 1, I will have it licked. At least the first draft.
Who is up for doing it with me? 500 words a day, come hell or high water. That's a mere 2 pages.
Here's the deal: 500 words a day, 5 days a week -- no excuses. You get your 500 words in even if the kids are driving you up the wall. Even if you're fighting with the spouse. Even if the boss let's you go. Even if the sky is falling, you wrestle those 500 words down onto the page.
Deal?
