RE: $60 SBD Awarded, $40 More Available to Sponsor #Fiction Writing Contests!

in #fiction7 years ago

50,000 words is a lot of work. Even if you write it down spontaneously without much of a plot 1,700 words per day are about half an hour of writing. You must be into this a lot to do it. So it's no wonder that only 3 took it up so far.

Sort:  

I'm not asking for 50,000 words. I just want people in the spirit of writing. I want 600+ words for these contests. It's just an effort to get people writing, in the spirit of NaNoWriMo. I can't even imagine a 50,000 word post on Steem. That's a bit unworkable!

1700 words per day to reach 50,000 words in a month,

I was referring to this 50k per month, which is still a lot.

Your post has ~500 words and I am sure you've spent some time with it. It's not different with writing fiction I guess. It just consumes a lot of time and that thins out potential participants, although NaNoWriMo is surely great for people with the necessary time and muse.

It's possible. I've seen quite a number of people take up projects like this and even over shoot it.

I know someone who writes s about 5000 words everyday. It's difficult, yeah! But, it's achievable nonetheless.
