Doing it like this (effectively one page a day) is very doable with the only drawback I see so far the fact that you will have to keep the book in the back of your mind for a long time.

But if you are short on time this is the way to do it.

I’d like to mention that writing at this slow pace allowed my work to time to ‘ferment’. I firmly believe that if I’d written as if a deadline was snapping at my heels, I would never have achieved a ‘full colour’ novel – more likely a black-and-white version.

Every week I cheered myself up by doing a word count and was consistently surprised by my own pace. Yes, two years is a long time, but compare that to never writing at all..!
Whatever you choose to do, keep plugging away at it and don’t be daunted by that target!

@pea.elle You’re absolutely right! One word makes the next word and the next word…Keep at it. You’ll get there.

Recently, I’ve been procrastinating, and blocked, even though I have the gift of free time now to write. (Oh, no..what a waste, huh?!)

I realized I had to do something else to train my mind to see something through to the finish line. I took up running, did timed miles, then a half marathon, then weekly runs. I learned how to pace myself to finish the distance I wanted. “Just one step,” tranlsates into “just one word makes the next word, makes a sentence, makes a paragraph, makes a page, makes a novel….”

Running translated well into writing. I’m still procrastinating now, hence posting on this site instead of writing, but at least I have the mental strength to keep striving toward my writing deadline.

Good call. Thanks!
