10k Words & Counting

[DaRK9]

I recently decided I was going to finish/re-write a few books I started a few years back but never finished. I sat down and tried to write and nothing came to me for a few days. Though of a plot I liked better and tried to write that.

Nothing

Then I read a blog post about writers block and it asked "When is the last time you read a book in the genre you are writing in?"

A while.

So I picked up The Dark Tower and started to read. The post totally makes sense now. Looking at everything from a writers perspective I got to notice a lot that I never did before.

Now I'm at 10,403 words and averaging 1,000 a day.

Not that many words in perspective when thinking about an entire book, but it's a tremendous jump from none.

Anyways, I will be moving soon and I'm contemplating not activating internet for a bit to see how much more I write.

Or if I just go mental, we shall see.


Does anyone else avidly read books in their category when writing?
