I like to make things fun for myself. To try turning life into a game. Well, how’s this? Turn “being a writer” into an RPG! I devised an “experience point” progression based on how many words I write per day. This is a good motivator to keep writing everyday because I get to level up!
Rules:
1. The words written per day can’t be journal entries or scribbles. They must represent writing towards a particular piece: a story, an essay, whatever. They cannot be idle ramblings.
1.1 However, if you are working on more than one project, you may split your word count among them. Yes, this means that a beginning writer may write one word a day for each of three hundred pieces, but that would be ridiculous.
2. In order to level up, you must write the number of Words Per Day listed on the chart, every single day. After having written said number for the listed number of Consecutive days, you level up.
3. You are not allowed to write more than the Words Per Day. If you want to write more, then keep at it! Writing must be a daily habit!
