This allows me to not get bored and a day or two between writing to resolve any plot issue I have.<br /><br />Out of the current projects I have going, two are contemporaries, one is a ghost story, one is an elf story, one an epic fantasy series and the rest are SFR. In the first six months of next year, I will probably have 3 new SFR stories out, one of which is the next book in the ORCHID series called NOT QUITE HUMAN.<br /><br />Thanks for asking Laurie.<br /><br />And yeah, I am blessed in the fact I get to write full time. A lot of people I know wish they could be circumstance prevents them from doing so. Keep at it though and you'll get there someday.<br /><br />LynnLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-61946471465863623082009-10-18T14:08:59.312-06:002009-10-18T14:08:59.312-06:00Will your next project be a SFR, Lynn?
I can prob...Will your next project be a SFR, Lynn?<br /><br />I can probably kick out about 2000-3000 words on a day off, provided I can get my internal editor switched off (no easy task).<br /><br />I really wish I could earn enough income to write full time, but since I'm working on my first sale, I'll probably get there about the time I retire and start writing full time anyway. :)L.

Believe it or no...You're very welcome, Laurie.<br /><br />Believe it or not, it's only about twenty words a minute. Which is really much in the typing arena. The real key is to get your mind to work that fast and there are repercussions to doing things this way. And my daily goal is only 5K a day which when you write full time isn't much.<br /><br />One is that I will always be way ahead of my publishers as no one can be expected to publish that many from one author. Hence the many publishers.<br /><br />Two is that after goning this strong for two to three months, I do experience a couple of weeks of burn out where I just pray I can finish a 1000 words a day. It takes me about 3 weeks to recharge and then I'm off again.<br /><br />I'm just at the end of a recharge period right now and gearing up to write again.Lynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-48181723844259256762009-10-18T10:47:23.646-06:002009-10-18T10:47:23.646-06:00Thanks, Flick!

Most of the time I write clean and I have a critique group who can get back to me in fairly short order.<br /><br />Usually, after I turn in the book, here is at least a week of what I can intense edits then another week of line and minor edits. Again, it all depends upon the publisher.<br /><br />LynnLynn Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563978872099232823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-85298393673347937622009-10-16T18:54:48.044-06:002009-10-16T18:54:48.044-06:00L, her 'speed writer' word count almost kn...L, her 'speed writer' word count almost knocked me off my chair, too. Even if I didn't work full-time, I know I couldn't write anywhere near that fast.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Barbara. I wondered if you two had 'met' before.<br /><br />Thanks again, Lynn.L.
