Substack Notes has been very interesting so far. I wonder how things will change a year from now.

That's a good question. Especially considering how fast things evolve over at Substack HQ. Those guys are on fire LOL.

Six books in a year, you say 🤔 😄 My record is four, I think ... Wait, no. Three. Ehhhh, three and a half 😅

I theoretically can write a book a month, so 6 was a pretty safe number when I started the year. Problem is I got a lot of unexpected delays, so now it's become VERY tight. Still doable, but... not as much margin. So I don't know if I'll pull it off. We shall see. I'll get as many done as I can, though.

I've written most of my books in a month; however, I then need a couple months to recover. So the idea of doing six in a year is a bit daunting, but also exciting. I'm building up to a five *day* novel challenge, btw. Which is insanity 😆

Ouch. Yeah, that'd be rough. Doable, but rough. I've had a few days where I pulled 10k, but doing that 5 days in a row... Ugh. And you'd need more than 10k, too.

There have been a few cases of folks who wrote a novel in a weekend. Talk about insane!
