Haha I'm on the other side, I think I'm too fast. I write about 3000 words a day right now as a university student - sometimes I get locked in and just pump out paragraphs. I find this style a bit too reckless for my liking, but I don't like not writing when my brain juices are flowing lol
I wish I could write that much. I think enough that I could easily do 10,000 if I had the energy to actually write. The whole world of my story just keeps going regardless of if I write it or not. I do have some consistency issues though, since I am a newbie. I did have one day I managed 5k, but that is the exception by far.

I'm going to have to rewrite my story at some point to fix all the issues I am unhappy about. You find so many issues when you look back at what you've written in the past, especially when it is your first time.

Everything.
I am pretty much an eternal pessimist when it comes to my writing. I have had to force myself on more than one occasion to simply stop and look away from the page while I am editing. I can jam out 200k words a month and then hate myself as I am re-reading it. Plus, I have minor dyslexia and every time I find I skipped a word or added two of the same; I die a little inside.
Don't be like me kids.

If you had to criticise your story, what would it be? Is there one aspect you find lacking?

I'm a new writer who just started writing a week ago, and I've been mostly freestyling my plot as it goes. I rely a lot on random sparks of enlightenment, like when I'm writing, figuring out how the story should develop, I sometimes get this "Wait, I think this twist would be great!", if you catch my drift. For example, when I wrote Chapter 3 I had nothing planned for Chapter 4 lol (the twist in Ch4 was completely off the top of my head, but I think it worked out pretty well)

On the other hand, sometimes this leads to a couple of "convenient" scene setups, in order to spice up the plot as much as possible. Maybe some of you guys can relate? I think I did a decent job overall, but I'm working on this aspect, trying to plan a more concrete direction for my story before I begin writing my future chapters
It’s too good :sweating_profusely:
