I really appreciate all the writing and publishing insights you give in your newsletter. I'm definitely stealing your Excel wordcount doc!
A question on daily wordcount, sorry if it's a silly one: how do you keep track of what you write everyday? Do you start a new paragraph, write the date and then continue writing where you left off and that way you know exactly how much you write each day?
I see authors mentioning this all the time, but I'm not the kind of person who keeps track of anything, I just start writing and hope it makes sense at the end. So I always wonder how other writers do it.
Hey Nat - this is super helpful for someone tinkering in fiction (coming from a serious, biz background).
Question: how much does your newsletter audience translate into your fiction audience?
I’m thinking about how I can bring along my audience here (focused on work + meaning), into something far different (e.g. post-apocalyptic coming of age story 😅).
If you’ve written/podcasted about this, and I missed it, let me know.
It's really cool you went the Shopify route for the pre sales. Glad it's working out
The secret project must happen
It yearns to exist
I think those presold numbers are great, especially direct. There's a heap of trad fiction titles that don't get to 300 copies sold, period.
That’s a great point, thanks Iain!
