why did you answer then? Hahaha. What about people who write?
Why not?
Well, I haven't written in almost two weeks, but I was writing like 9k a week ish.
Roughly around 8,000 words a week, split between different stories. 24,000 is helluva lot! I mean, I am also in the midst of finals and packing up in my apartment, as well as editing someone else's story, but still. Nowhere near your level. The difference between me and you, the professional writer, is quite vast.
My actual, per week average, is about what I post which is near 3200. The amount I CAN write in a week is close to 15k. But again, its the average. For instance, I'm writing a bunch now and next week, since Tears of the Kingdom comes out next Friday, and then I'm getting married in early June, so I've got to get a backlog to keep publishing schedule.
In a good week, at least 20.000 words. In bad/normal week I can do 7000 to 10.000.
I found the maniac, haha. 60.000 words is an actual entire novel, my gosh.
Well, what I recommend when writing is having everything else that isn't related to the novel closed. If you have Spotify or YT music, that's a personal preference, but I like having distractions out of the reach of a single click. Else, it is easy to see a notification on something and say to yourself, "Five minutes won't hurt," or "I'll start again after watching this video."
Well, actually, that's not really the problem. The 'way' I write requires a certain rythm I can only really get into if I know I have a specific time window on my hands, you could call it an 'inertia' of sorts. You start a certain scene or section, then you can't stop 'till you finish that, because it all depends on that said rythm you're pouring into it, so you have to stay in the chair for a set time or it doesn't flow right.
Poverty--and the fear of it--has a real way of moving the fingers.
... Find a balance, hahaha. You are either cracked, or you are not writing at all.
