Even on my best days, the most I was able to churn out was about one-third of that.<br /><br />The only time I get "speedy" with my writing, is when a story grabs my attention and demands that I hop to it. Otherwise, it usually take me on the average three to four months to write a first draft (usually a novella).G. B.

I get jealous too!! And when I do, I can't help but let it wear me down. I think it's just human nature. But I always try to remind myself that we are all on different paths and we all have different timelines so I shouldn't compare myself to others. Easier said than done, I know, but I do think it's true. In the end, I try to be happy for those who have had more success than I have. Hopefully, one day, I'll be in their shoes. Anyway, thanks for the post. It's great to hear I'm not the only one. :) Elizabeth Runnoehttp://elizabethrunnoe.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-78912988275701395632015-01-07T11:56:58.292-05:002015-01-07T11:56:58.292-05:00Some of us don't have the hours others have to...Some of us don't have the hours others have to write. Or the speed. I'm a really slow writer and when people talk about pounding out a thousand words in an hour, it's depressing. It would take me three hours to do that. Maybe more!Alex J.

...Hi, G.B.! I loved your intro in the beginning. :)<br /><br />I know how you feel. I'm constantly envious of how well certain authors handle all that being an author requires (publishing, social media, newsletters, etc.). I always feel behind, but this year I plan to move forward. <br /><br />We have to teach ourselves not to be jealous, though. We should look at these authors as mentors instead and let their successes push us to create out own. All writers are different. We are all at different levels. And that's actually good! <br /><br />I hope you make 2015 your year! :)<br /><br />IWSG Co-hostChrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345361078388854353.post-82223986992115631542015-01-07T09:25:34.185-05:002015-01-07T09:25:34.185-05:00Yeh, I know what you mean.Yeh, I know what you mean.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
