Carry On Writing

I just became rather curious. I've been writing this blog for over three months now, mostly every day, 127 posts. So I wondered, how much have I actually written? So I copied everything into Word, and did a word count. And in three little months I've bashed out a whopping 40,000 words. Well I was impressed. That's about half an average sized novel. It means I've written about 550 words a day. It's really put into perspective for me how long it would actually take to write a novel. It sounds exhausting!! And that's not even taking thinking time into account. Oh well. It's a long time in the future if it ever does happen. So my new year's resolution, apart from to avoid getting into complicated situations with people who have girlfriends, is to carry on writing every day, but write more. It does me good to write everything out, because everything is so crowded and mushed together in my head, but once it's on paper, or on here, I can see it all clearly. Crystal clear.
