Project River – Day 30 – Finished!


I am finished!

The final word count for the rough draft of Project River is 93,284 words, made with 506,000 keystrokes over the course of about 39 hours of drafting, for an average speed of about 40 words per minute. That’s 237 pages of double-spaced 11-point text.

My lowest day was November 1st with 1,993 words. Having a good baseline kept me motivated to never fall below it, even if several days were just barely above 2k. My highest day was November 11th with 5,925 words.

Thanks for everyone who followed along. If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, join me next year!
