A mere month ago I pushed out The Abstract Thief. About 2 weeks after that I also finished working on Nice Things for Fighters (which was over 2 months in development), and put it up for sale. I'm already working on my third book and putting in ideas for future products.

Yesterday was very productive, for I wrote 1,345 words. Today I wrote 959 words. The first major hurdle in writing is putting down those ideas in your head to paper (or Word Document), cleaning up any discrepancies later.

It is very easy for me to get scared at the prospect of a large project, or to put it off in favor of web-surfing.

I want this thread to be a daily reminder and time-keeping scale to keep writing on a regular basis. Ideally I'll post a result of my writing every day, even if it's just 0 words (hopefully not!).

June 7th, 2014: 959 words.

Best of luck. I know exactly how hard it can be to ensure you get words to paper (or screen) on a daily basis. So I'll be standing by with a horsewhip if you start slacking off

I've been writing into the night off and on, and technically it's June 9th. 747 words.

Still, I'm going to treat tomorrow morning as it's own day and reset to 0.

Ugh. Nothing of import got accomplished today. I'll make it up double tomorrow.

Dammit, how could I not realize that I was posting the wrong month?!

As my next project is heavy on stat blocks, expect to see larger word counts the next month or so.

My day was productive, though. I spent several hours editing, formatting, and inserting art for Death to Alignment! Nearly finished!

Turns out that there was more stuff to be done. Hey, at least I'm glad I'm doing something everyday to further my work!
