I Wrote An Entire Book In 30 Days

Trying to complete the challenge like: "She breathed a breath that only those who breathed can breathe..."

she literally wrote 8k words in 2 days meanwhile my ass can't even write 3k words in a day

Her: Wrote over 50,000 words in 30 days. Me: Wrote over 1,000 words in 3 weeks.

And there's a girl on wattpad, writing a book over 11 years and the readers are pretty close to attack her house to get the whole book.

Watching this while procrastinating writing my novel smh

[fan-fiction writers laughing nervously]

"I am the type of person that never finishes anything." basically me everytime I try to write a book

You wrote 5,000 words in one day?!?! That took me an entire year😂😂

If Buzzfeed could do a video exploring the different ways to get published (how to find an agent, a publishing house, self-publish, etc.), that would be really cool....X.x

As someone who's been working on a novel for just under two months I must say, you are quite possibly slightly insane!!!

I did this in high school. I'm swiss and high schoolers have to do some kind of project in the last year. My friend built a segway, another wrote a musical and an other one went to India to help some kind of organization with children. Me, i just decided i wanted to write a book. Since we had to do it in english (i had half of my subjects in english), i wrote the book in english, too. Don't worry, my formal english was way better than it is in this comment. The book is about 65 A-4 pages long and i wrote most of it within one month. I should really read it again and correct, but i don't know what to do after that. What do i do with a finished book? I doubt anyonr would like to read it anyways. I'm 20 now; it's been 2 years and i haven't touched my book

Participating in NaNo this year, sitting at 42,885 words on November 28th and freaking out. This video totally just refilled my confidence bar, thank you. I’m going to make it. Update: NOVEMBER 29TH AND I FINISHED!! 53,245 WORDS I have no idea how I just wrote over 8,000 words in one sitting holy crap. If anyone reading this is participating in NaNo, good luck out there! You may surprise yourself.

I just finished writing a 106000 word novel in 6 months but I can't imagine doing it in a month😱 props to anyone that finished the challenge!! Now let's get these babies published!

And then there is me, struggling to write 1,200 words for my persuasive essay even though i’ve already had three months

She wrote 50k words in a month. I’ve written 1k words in the last ten days

Can we read your book? I'm actually really hyped up about this now, haha.

I wrote my 61k word novel in 3 months. I dedicated my entire summer to it because, being in med school, I have zero free time during the rest of the year. It's insane what you can do with enough hard work and dedication. It was such an amazing personal accomplishment. I understand exactly how proud you must've felt. Good on you!

Now I understand why all the fanfiction updates are POPPING IN during November 👌

*Sees title and thumbnail* It’s NaNoWriMo isn’t it *Watches the video* IT WAS NANOWRIMO HELL YEAH

This is a great motivator! For 37 years, my first novel languished unfinished, but then I left my job as a newspaper editor, which suddenly gave me a lot of time to actually write what I wanted to write. In 2015, I finally made the push and finished the first novel. In 2016, I got stuck on a short story, then realized the story could be a sequel to the first novel and went in that direction. That summer, I completed six novels, from 80,000 to 107,000 words each. There were days when I wrote upward of 12,000 words! As of January 2020, I have 19 novels in print, with another seven in various stages. If you really focus upon the story and characters, instead of all the work it's going to take, you can meet this kind of challenge. I never thought it was possible, but I — and everybody else — really can finish our novels. Just gotta do it.
