(Part 4 of 5)

Bestselling authors have learned the value of persistence. They use time wherever they can, gathering ideas, making notes, and writing. Even with that effort, they will produce around 750 good words a day, about three double-spaced pages. At the same time, they might cut 2,000 bad words, because they insist on good words.
At such a slow daily output, how they can finish a novel in a year. They do it by writing every day.
Do the math: five days per week, fifty weeks per year, equals 750 pages of 187,500 words.
Persistence in writing something, almost every day is much more productive than occasionally writing a lot.
