Hadley Rille Books Editor Writes 50,000 Words in One Day!

[mckitterick]

Today, to celebrate Hadley Rille Books' 5-year anniversary - and his own birthday! - Eric T Reynolds (ericreynolds) is writing 50,000 words. IN ONE DAY.

So far: about 5000 words in two hours. You can track his progress on his Facebook account. Go wish him luck!

Also in celebration of this wonderful publishing house's anniversary, Eric is giving away a Kindle 3G! You get one free registration, and the more books you buy, the more entries you get. Help Hadley Rille sell 5000 books by December 31! I hear they have this science fiction novel entitled Transcendence (at a nice discount directly from the publisher), which would make a lovely present ;-)

Best,
Chris

That's impressive, and I wish him luck. I'm not entirely sure I could write 50k in a single day, and I'm one of the fastest writers I know. ;)

He's up to ‎21,005 words with an hour to go for today! If he gives himself a full 24 hours... wow, might happen.

It's possible--2k/hour for 24 hours, 2500/hour for 20 hours, 3k/hour for 17 hours. It's maintaining that speed for that long without destroying hands, back, eyes, sanity that would be a problem. :)

Yeah, he's a brave man!

Chris,

Are you hinting at what you'd like for Christmas? :)

Giving my book to your friends would be a GREAT present!
