11,500 Words Can’t Be Wrong
I’ve been pondering the Blog-To-Novel conversion factor recently. By conversion, I mean myself converting back to daily novel writing instead of blogging long entries— not transforming my blogs into book form. Although I’ve heard this has been done, I find it hard that publishing in both formats would be advantageous.
Anyway, the reasoning for this is that I originally started blogging to get back into a (mostly) daily routine of writing. I decided to copy-paste all of my entries from Blogimus Prime into Word and see how much the word count it was (since that is very key in keeping a writing regiment). I was surprised to find that I was 11,500 words strong in just 2 months of occasional entries. Granted, the entries are incongruent but equally I was not religious to blogging and I took weekends off, which was always my prime writing time when I wrote my first novel.
Thus, if I return to the former pace I wrote, it should be entirely possible to compose a new novel in 4-5 months. Maybe less if I’m really dedicated to it… and not too distracted. But I am itching to start soon.
After all, as much as I have enjoyed blogging, it will not enhance my life in any way other than self-analyzation. And I know I’ve done way too much of that. Peace.
