Five Thousand Words a Day is Doable!

Connie Ragen Green — How to Write Five Thousand Words a Day

If five thousand words sounds like a crazy high number, you’re not alone. Most people, even when they’re trying to be super productive in their writing, generally won’t write more than 2,000 words on a good day. So, do I write 5,000 words a day and more importantly, will this article show you how to write five thousand words a day? The short answer is YES!

When I put the pedal to the metal, I can do 5,000 or even more. And remember that I started out as a non-writer, meaning that I often went a year or longer without writing much of anything. That all changed when I began my online business in 2006…

How do I do it? How do I consistently write so much, and will I be able to teach and show you how to write five thousand words a day? Perhaps. I’m more than willing to give you my best tips and strategies. And first of all, I’ll share that the best way to start is to look for reasons to write each day.

First, I take a few moments to relax. Yes, seriously, I sit in my favorite chair, get comfortable, and relax my entire body. Next, I set my intention to write X number of words in the next X number of hours. Lately, it’s been two thousand words — the right words for the project I’m engaged in at that moment — in two hours.
