Listen "5:32 / Word Count Challenge / Old Challenge vs. New Challenge"
Episode Synopsis
Old Challenge vs. New Challenge ~ that’s the theme for this week’s episode.
We say goodbye to the Summer Writing Challenge, which tracked all the pesky jobs that writers have to do in addition to the writing, and we welcome in the August Word Count Challenge, which is the kind of challenge that writers want to focus on: NEW WORDS ONLY. No sketched words, just an estimate from the Rough, any overage in changing Rough to Draft as well as overage that comes with Revision and Proofing.
The only way to achieve the challenge consistently is to Write New Words Daily.
Join us as we challenge disruptions and distractions to derail us from a daily word count.
