Slow and Steady

July 21, 2007

Someone told me slow and steady finishes a novel. I’m trying it out this week.

Today I wrote 1518 words. Cleaned up a few plot points and plotted out the next couple of chapters.

I’m at 35,000 words. I’m shooting for 60,000 and hoping to do it in less than a month.

That’s 1,000 words a day for 25 days!

When I break it down like that it seems attainable, especially since I know I CAN write 10,000 words in a weekend if given the opportunity.

Maybe if I keep at this slow and steady pace, I won’t have to.

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
