Dream of writing a novel? Just write 250 words per day

penpinery | last updated November 30, 2023

Need a reason to start writing your novel? Look no further.

I was reading the philosophy of https://750words.com and in it they state 750 words equal 3 pages. Which mean 250 words is a single page in the average novel.

"I looked this up. 250 words per page is considered to be the standard accepted number of words per page. So, three standard pages are about 750 words... 750 words takes a bit of effort, and it never fails to get me typing things that I have wanted to articulate without realizing it. And that's the point."

-- 750words.com

If an average novel is 300 pages, within a year you can easily write the novel of your dreams by constantly writing 250 words a day.

If the average writer takes about 40 words per minute, and being generous, that should take only take 15 minutes a day to complete this easy task.

Why am I sharing this little breakdown?

Because if you're life has been full of excuses on why you can't write that novel you always wanted here's the proof you can do it.

It might not be the quickest way to write a novel but if you can be consistant it is the most achievable way to write a novel.

Write every day and who knows what you can achieve! You're a writer (or you want to be) so write a little bit and prove to yourself it's possible.
