🐝 12 hour write-a-thon vlog // can i write 6000 words in a day?

[@zaynabywrites]

8k in a day?? that's literally amazing!! congratz!! I also go into every piece of media with a learning mindset (and sometimes a notebook) to see what I can take away from it. It's become more than just leisure, it's productive leisure~ 💞

[@lynndjung]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, taking notes is actually such a good idea as well

[@taellaugustin9898]

Watching you and writing helps me so much and I’m able to get a lot of writing done. 😊 Love your videos ❤

[@lynndjung]

comments like these are what keep me making videos

[@kelleyiswriting]

HOW HAVE I NOT COMMENTED ON THIS VIDEO??? I love your shirt so much

[@lynndjung]

YES good luck!!

[@cassie_hart]

What a cool experiment! I would love to do something like this, but I know by about hour 4 I'd be flaking because my household gets so much busier as the day goes on lol I need to write in the mornings or it just won't happen.

[@lynndjung]

Honestly, even four hours would be an amazing accomplishment! If you ever get the chance, highly encourage you to block out a little extra time in the mornings to push yourself for a day (although I 100% understand life getting in the way)

[@kiranreader]

this was awesome! congrats on achieving your goal!!

[@lynndjung]

thank you!! ☺️

That's a really impressive word count! Fingers crossed that revision goes well. I watched this last night and couldn't comment at the time-- remind me if you went in with an outline of some sort? Good on you for recognizing your limits about writing full-time, though-- ESPECIALLY if you're working and/or going to school it's really important to take of yourself! Something something toxic productivity something

[@lynndjung]

Thank you!! I was shocked by my own power lol. I did have an outline for this project, but a lot has changed since the planning stage, so it's more loosey-goosey than I'd like. Haha exactly, I've been focusing on NOT burning myself out!

Music in a foreign language helps me get in the zone. Not knowing what the words means seems to make me focus on the meaning o my own words (?) and I have to edit less later down the line. This seems like a super cool idea and would be fun for nano writers, especially if they do reverse nano.

[@lynndjung]

That's so interesting! Super glad you've found something that works so well for you, I've gotta try that at some point. Agreed! I might host a 12 hour write-in during Camp or in November :-)

[@yourbookladykatie]

I love your shirt!!!

[@BookItWriteFinesse]

Hii, Im also a writer. I'm wondering if it's okay to change the outline after it's already created. What do you think ?

[@lynndjung]

Yes, absolutely! I spot weaknesses in my outline during the drafting and revision stages all the time

[@lexingtRick]

just write. You are doing just fine. You did more than enough in a day. J.k. Rowling is focused on about 600 words per day. Quality and good fiction. Making things visual. Stephen King is about 2000 words before noon. That 6000 words challenge is a good idea. Good drill. You are encouraging me for my second book. 10 years fiddling around and being helpful. I would start soon. Thanks for being there.

That would look much better than your hand shaking and with your reflection on the computer's screen. -- Whoa... I see that you are a MS Word user cuz that looks like a Word program layout.
