One of the hardest things about writing is feeling like you're not getting anywhere. You sit, write, read, edit. Then you sit some more, rewrite, read, and edit some more. For years my problem has been that I'm hard on myself, and I'm hard on myself because I never felt productive unless I was writing new material. But the art of writing is really in the rewriting, right?
Enter the Chocolate Challenge, a friendly competition created by the Sisters in Crime. They have use an Excel tracking sheet that helps you keep track of how many words you've written every day, but also adds a word count for editing hours. Now, I didn't win the competition, but I got so much done! February was an incredibly productive month!
