There's this idea going around that it takes a million word to become a competent writer.
Guess what I did today?
I WROTE MY MILLIONTH WORD.
I started tracking my wordcount on November 1 2013. According to my trusty spreadsheet that I've updated pretty much every day since then, I wrote my millionth word today. (Funnily enough, on exactly the same project I wrote that first one.)
It took me under two years, but now the real work begins.
