It seems I average about 3k per day when I'm working, until the story's finished at about 90k. Then... I don;t know because I've never done the next bit before!<br />LxxxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604785269958873474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-86775366803171584752011-06-27T22:05:28.332-05:002011-06-27T22:05:28.332-05:00wow!

It took me a long time to write my book, but I had some speed bumps along the way (including moving to a new house which took like, 6 months out of my writing!). It was hard to juggle my time with my daughter and work and all. I'm hoping the next book I write will be MUCH faster. I like your plan. I'm on my 2nd round of edits and after that it will go out to beta readers as I query agents. Good luck, I know we're both almost there!Abby Minardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963640263845561309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-58619096150280935392011-06-27T19:18:05.435-05:002011-06-27T19:18:05.435-05:00Oh Jen, I'm sorry to hear about the surgery.

My treatment plan - usually at least a week on a really detailed outline. Then I dive in. Something will happen that I wasn't expecting, sending the story in another direction so I pause to re-outline. Then I dive back in again. Wow - didn't see THAT coming at all. Time to re-outline. Repeat process until done with book (usually two months). Read through in a week to make notations of what needs to be fixed. A week to fix it. Then off to beta readers. I have two and they get it back to me in a week. Corrections made, things clarified, then off to Crit Group for the heavy duty stuff. After that, I allow myself another week for changes. Loooong process!Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-83483685971106115982011-06-27T14:44:49.653-05:002011-06-27T14:44:49.653-05:00You are an amazingly fast writer.

I love how you worked your treatment plan into writing, awesome. It sounds a lot like my process. I write the first draft, read through it, print it out and edit, put it in the computer, then read it aloud to my beta reader, enter changes, then send it to my critique partners! Than enter more changes... It's kind of never ending!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-10947291013982061532011-06-27T12:12:57.967-05:002011-06-27T12:12:57.967-05:00I don't have a treatment plan.

But for the days when my kiddos are grown, I'll save this plan and put it into action.<br />I especially think the four weeks for two beta readers is a good idea. I've wasted time having less qualified editors read my work. They've handed my MS back with two corrections after having it for six weeks. Argh. I love it when I get it back full of red pen. I want it to bleed!Emily R.
