I've been a bit lazy in that department too - haven't driven one inch of our current trip into the States. So I know a day back at the wheel, especially on the interstate, might be a "bit" stressful.<br /><br />Kim - You're not kidding. If you actually sat down and quantified the amount of work in one novel, would we continue to do it? Of course! And word count - I joined Nanorimo a few years running and ended up with 60,000 words that took a very long time to revise. But it did teach me discipline and that was worth it.<br /><br />Ryshia Kenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950150149473063859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5637277733396899552.post-32335101093318717132013-12-04T17:00:16.742-06:002013-12-04T17:00:16.742-06:00We have to love it to put up with all the work and...We have to love it to put up with all the work and revisions and STILL no guarantee anyone will read what we think is AWESOME. But we believe in ourselves and hope for the readers to come once we put our final product out there.<br /><br />I don't like to focus on word count much either. I focus on chapters.

I agree with you, not everyone understands that writing is work and people convince themselves that writers are lazy people that do nothing the whole day. Well, we know it's not true. You enjoy your writing and don't let anyone make you feel guilty. Best of luck. Murees Dupèhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781339206465690961noreply@blogger.com
