Just curious. I've been thinking a lot about 2013 lately, and my main objective is to get at least one book out by summer. However, I'm aware that this is 'low' in terms of possible productivity. I've seen authors put out six or seven a year, which I think would be ideal, but I recognize that not everyone writes at the same pace.
How fast do you finish your own books? Do you have a writing quota you stick to? A chapter a day? 3k words a day?
Also, how long do you take for editing and formatting and stuff? I imagine it takes much longer to fine tune your book, get your cover completed, and format it than it does to actually finish the damn thing, but still. I'm curious about time frame sort of things.
Also, do you have any tips for productivity? So far I seem to be completing somewhere around 2k to 2.5k words a day. Some cases a whole chapter. If my math-y type skills serve me well, I -might- actually be done with draft one in a week and a half or so.
I'd like to be one of those super prolific writers that gets ten books out a year, but I don't think that's very practical. But who knows! Maybe I just need a stronger work ethic.
