WRITING EXPERIMENT | how many days in a row can I beat my previous day's word count??

New favorite writing experiment?? I would 1000% attempt this again, especially if I have nowhere to go next time. Either I way underestimated myself or perfectly gamed the system. YOU TELL ME.
The goal is simple: writing more words than you did the day before. How many days in a row do you think you could beat your previous day's word count??
Thank you to my patrons for voting on this video!!! It technically came in 2nd (just barely!), so be on the look out for what experiment took 1st. 👀

First sprints are always the hardest. With my luck, I'd get overexcited and get like 6k on the first day and then I'd get LESS words each day 😂 My next writing experiment is to do a week of 12hr writing days in June because I really need to rewrite my debut novel in time to release a 10yr anniversary edition in August ❤

[@LordofFullmetal]

I just wanted to say that you inspire me to write. Like, literally. I put your videos on to put me in a writing mood, and it always works.

[@SIMulatedSara]

Same! Kate and Sarra Cannon never fail to motivate me with their videos! Happy writing!

[@angel-jh3ub]

this is exactly how i feel!! it’s so much easier to get the words on paper when ik where i’m goinggg

[@timothyshaw5498]

Brain wasn’t braining. Gotta love that! 😂

I've just seen your Cat Tarot cards. I wanted to let you know that I've been playing around with my vintage Motherpeace Tarot deck this morning. Sometimes my inner perfectionist critic makes me want to give up writing forever. In desperation, I took out my cards and asked them how I needed to change my attitude to writing. Guess which card came up … yes, the Fool, of course. For me, the cards act as a door to my inner wisdom, or a mirror, or a magnifying glass … or a kick in the pants to start solving the real obstacles instead of running away. Deep down, I knew all along that I had to let go of the grim desire to write “good” or, even worse, “perfect”. I think being creative means trusting the process, enjoying it, being open to what happens … Now I'm going to continue watching your great video. Grazie mille, mille, Kate! ✨

[@planwithnutmeg]

Congratulations! I would definitely try that. I might start on June 1st!

[@sunsetchili27]

13:38 What were you watching here? I feel like I recognize the voices but I can't put my finger on it. Love this video btw! This challenge is so fun

[@76kilosofshade81]

I like how every time you start a new project, there's a different process. I like that you take what has made sense and try new things. I've also found that, the more books I write, the more I outline first. Wouldn't call myself a planner, but I'm learning how to tell better stories and stories better.

[@ElaineUribeWrites]

Hi, Kate! This seems like such a fun challenge, I'm definitely gonna try it one of these days. Also, I love your little 🌩 earrings!

[@elizabethalicia2456]

Watching this while Embroidering a tote bag. Your videos always inspire me to write, and if I can't write, then to create something

[@kristinarose111]

As always, your video made me smile! I’m inspired beyond words, not only to write but to fully be ME no matter what. Sending so much love

[@ringsroses]

The aging car sickness is real! 😵‍💫 I get the impression that wearing glasses, having migraines and being a gal help increase the odds. So...fun! I'm loving your flexibility about challenges and writing strategies. It's fun watching your videos over the years and using that inspiration to get my butt in the seat. Keeping it fun seems to be the actual best writing advice imo.

[@marywockenfuss-thecraftypl6461]

I would love to try this experiment. I haven't written in so long. I miss it.

[@herothebard]

I like how I saw the dark chocolate espresso beans and was immediately reminded of all nighters in university at exam season like just transported back.

[@A_Bookish_Obsession]

I'm so here for all the new content you're putting out. They always inspire me to write! ❤

[@mothnaut]

Loved this! ❤❤❤

[@cynthiagates9627]

You can do it!!

[@clareagrippina6569]

Woo! Love seeing some Game Changer! This was such a fun experiment to watch. Do you think you'll be trying the 24 hour novel challenge?

[@bookishsyd6077]

I like this challenge! like your 'stair step' writing challenge, but on a day scale. I feel like this video came at a perfect time- I haven't written in a bit or been able to attend one of your streams in like a week or more bc of work (I'm vicious scribbles over on Twitch), but I'm hopeful that tomorrow I'll be able to get some work in. And hopefully this will be a perfect way for me to challenge myself!

[@tammiegipson8870]

That sounds fun but very challenging. I will have to try this one. Love your videos!

[@abbyreadsandstudies]

28:10 I love how u just naturally spoke cat to Vin😹that is a true cat mom ❤

[@carolscott5301]

This was such a fun video! One of my new faves writing vlogs from you. I'm getting back into writing and I may have to try this game out myself 😊 By the way, could I ask where your lightning earrings that you were wearing during the stats portion at the end are from? They're soooooo cute.

[@chenoapatton5895]

Sounds like so much fun! And definitely something that I want to try. Been in a writing slump and I think this would be perfect to get me back into it! 🎉❤

[@avsambart]

You're a better person than me. I would've purposely done about 100 words on day one and then gone up by like 50 per day all on purpose 😂

[@Heothbremel]

Definitely going to have to try this one out....

[@TraciAnneCan]

I got way too excited seeing you watch Game Changer lol. The Survivor episodes are some of my favorites. I’m going to suggest doing the beat the previous day’s word count challenge with my writing group.

[@StudioLindsay]

I definitely want to try this now. 😊

[@anjakuemski]

Your videos are always inspiring. But I watch them in the evening, so instead of starting to write I go to bed. Not good for the word count.😂But I will definitely try this experiment for myself.

[@Drawn_By_Lix]

all I can hear is Mr. Crabs- 😂 3:24

[@giuliaidiometri186]

Hi Kate, I'm a blind girl, and it's impossible for me to access some website, like Twitch, for example. Could you do Livestreams even here on KZbin, please? They really inspired me. Help me, please!

[@sydrichey6600]

I said about 4 to 6 days depending on mood

[@Josephine_Creates]

What writing program do you use to write your novels?

[@cryptidcollective1163]

I SAW FROGKISSER!!!

[@madametrafficjam8347]

My guess is 8 days and then something will happen that will mean no or less writing time. OR forty days because you have been streaming a lot lately and maybe this experiment is why?

[@madametrafficjam8347]

I swear I hadn't checked before I guessed! I try not to count words anymore, but I might try this when I'm back to drafting instead of editing
