2K? I’m crazy impressed. That’s a full book in two sleepless days.

I hit around 2k words per hour in normal fantasy fiction writing. I may have to take that test lol.

116 wpm? That’s awesome! If you could churn out 4,200 WPH, you’d have a novel in 14 hours and 15 minutes. I expect a seven book series by next week!

My top typing speed ever is 116 wpm, over 10 tests best average is 92, overall average 81. On a 70wpm basis assuming I didn’t stop I could manage 4,200 WPH.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea, Azrael. And your target is much more aggressive than NaNo. 2800 words a day, every day. I don’t think I could manage that pace.

Hi Amy, I’m glad you found the blog!

I’m a start-and-stopper right now. I need to get to that stage where I can completely turn off my inner critic and just write. Maybe then I’ll hit some of those lofty 1000 word / hour heights!

Y’all put me to shame!

I did write a novel in a single holiday weekend (I’m going to say President’s Day weekend, 2004). And somebody actually brought this book to me to sign one time, even though it is another writer’s name on it. So “they know.” How? !!*@@!!???

Have you checked this out: http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html ? This fancy internet tool’s threat of deleting my words unless I type fast enough has brought me closer to my theoretical typing maximum than ever before.
