Of course people may want to know the number, but if the number is higher or lower, it might change the rate per page that Amazon uses each month, but it will not substantially change the payments to authors. If Amazon used 10 words per page, each page would earn less but every book would have 10 times as many pages as if Amazon used 100 words per page. And if Amazon used 1000 words per page, each page would earn more but every book would have 1/10 as many pages as if Amazon used 100 words per page. It all comes out in the wash.Nirmalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620667876235314509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608882829658418719.post-50852401550783377232015-05-15T01:09:39.484-05:002015-05-15T01:09:39.484-05:00Meaning I've never maintained that pace for mo...Meaning I've never maintained that pace for more than a day.

It would definitely take a story skeleton so as not to lose my path or meander around too much. After that it would take elbow grease and time. I hope you reach 4k a day. For me that would be 5-6 hours of PRODUCTIVE time. So like, write an hour or two and take a break. Then hit it again. Several sessions like that. I've hit 5k before and that's how I did it. I've never maintained that pace.

This is a matter of personality. I am an INTJ. My subconscious is at least 10 times more powerful than my conscious mind. When the sub is ready to go, I can bang out good stuff fast. All I'm trying to do with my conscious mind is direct the stampede. <br /><br />I discovered that I can consistently put out 2,500+ words a day. Gonna try to crank that to 3,000. From there, I will do whatever I need to do to crank it up to 4k. antareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928062661776005108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608882829658418719.post-48915879583267168452015-05-05T23:56:53.186-05:002015-05-05T23:56:53.186-05:00Sorry to comment so much, but I'd like to reco...Sorry to comment so much, but I'd like to recommend a writing book.

I have equally no idea how people using Libby's system can stay interested in their work. Bah. I figure the more we write the more we'll figure out what works for our us. A highly individualized system. For myself I'm just a hobbyist, so I go for max fun over max production. <br /><br />How do you plan to get to your 4k goal? More hours?

The pot is separate from the base. The base looks like a hot plate. They told me they got it in the '50s. And it still works. Cooks beans. Cooks stew.

This also carries the benefit of a begging "please" without seeming to beg.<br /><br />"I would love to not," develops as the negative of "I would love to." Interesting here is that, though it is a negative form, it actually states an affirmative.
