50,049 words and ~7,000 of them in the last 24 hours. 7th win overall and 4th in a row.

This has been a weird one for me. I was going strong early on but hit a slump in the last week, resulting in a rush to catch up at the end. I've had no trouble churning out the words once I actually sit down and start writing but have really struggled to do so. I'm just glad I had a scene-by-scene plan ready to go on day 1 because that's removed a lot of the pesky thinking required.

I trialled 4theWords this year and found it interesting. I'm not sure how much it actually helped me write day-to-day but within a given writing session I think having lots of little milestones (the individual monsters you fight) may have helped, even if it was only turning a 1 hour sprint into 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you're on the fence, I'd say give it a try - you get a month free to start with and don't need to give any payment details up front.

I'm nowhere near done with the story but I'll get there eventually.

Congratulations to everyone who took part! Regardless of how many words you wrote, you have more written now than at the start of the month!
