Writing for the Week

200 words has been my daily quota of writing for close to 600 days now, but with Summer approaching and the load of work I need to carry to ensure the success of my projects, I’ll have to write my daily posts in bulk every week.

200 daily words compound to 1400 weekly. It’s far from an impossible task to write those in a single day. Stephen King writes 2000 words every day, and some go as far as 10,000! A mere 1400 is nothing to whine about.

It’s also not my first time generating article ideas in bulk. I go somewhere outside, in a bar or a coffee shop, and start scribbling down the ideas in a notebook I carry with me. Each idea is broken into a rough outline with bullet points, and from there I complete a first draft.

Writing offline always helps me better ideate. I’m not sure if it’s because of something in the coffee or the surrounding people, but it never fails to to work.

I need seven ideas to complete a week’s worth of posts, about seven pages of my notebook, which takes around 4 hours, sometimes more when I take my time to enjoy the scenery.
