10K in a day!

10K!!! in one day!!!
I uploaded just before midnight yesterday and got 31045
I did about 1K after midnight before I went to bed
I did 9K between 2pm and now.
I uploaded again just before midnight and got 41129.

My 2 pennorth worth for those who want it (and even for those who don't )
I agree with the person who says just sit down and write and do nothing else and don't stop.
I can usually get 1000 or more in an hour.
which means 10 hours of continuous writing should get me 10K, which it did, more or less.
So don't stop. Breaks easily become an hour or two unless you have iron discipline. This includes sorting out the plot/chars/novel etc. I did not allow myself to stop counting. I included that in my time. I took my word count on the hour every hour regardless of whether I had to work out some plot point or not.

Any distraction costs terribly. My word count for one hour was 177. Now I did have dinner and sorted out and put out the rubbish but it shows that something you might think a 10 minute break actually can consume a whole lot more time.

Eliminate all distractions. No TV or music in the background. No pets harassing you for attention. No phone calls. Don't answer the door unless you ordered a pizza.

I agree with that but please note. Not feeding the cat is more distracting than feeding it. The cat doesn't think that's an option. Phone calls - the latest thing here (UK) seems to be to have a computer phone you up to offer you something and somehow they must know when it's the wrong time. They never phone up when I'm watching the TV but when I'm trying to do 10K in a day!!. (BTW, I put the phone down but it breaks your concentration)

Good luck with anyone doing 10K in a day. I think most people can do it if they can devote most of the day completely to it.
