2 hours a day

The bookstore is always filled with books that claim that you can write your dissertation in only 3 hours a day.  Personally, I've always been suspicious of this claim.  But now I believe!

I started off September writing 750 words/ a day.  I realized that this typically took just over an hour. (I didn't claim that it was good writing- just writing).  After my hour I typically read or watched 10 hours of Law and Order.

Then mid-September I had a writing revelation after reading How to Write A Lot.  So my new approach is a scheduled 2 hour block dedicated solely to writing new material 6 days/week.  It has proved to be fruitful! In September I wrote 19,367 words!

Other time is dedicated to editing and reading.  There even is time for some Law and Order!
