Establishing milestones is another way to make progress on your book. For example, if you write an average of 1000 words a day, and a chapter in your book is about 5000 words long, in five days you should complete a chapter. Add some leeway – say a couple of days – to cover holidays, personal illnesses and emergencies.
Your first milestone, reachable one week from today, will be the completion of a chapter. Two weeks from today, you will reach the milestone of completing the second chapter. If you miss a milestone, you must write for a longer period of time during the following week to reach it and to make the next one.
Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Indianapolis, Indiana, or a small town like Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky, I can provide that second eye.
