When I had a clear outline of the section I was working on, I could get into it faster and make more progress.

My lowest word counts came during sessions when I was less prepared and more distracted.

My slowest writing session was just 465 words an hour, while I cranked out more than 1,000 words during my most productive hour. There are people who write a lot faster, but I was pretty happy with that number. That’s an average of nearly 700 words per hour.

The results: My grand total for all seven hours added up to 4,885 words. While I’ve done that in the past, these days I find I’m more effective when I focus on writing for an hour or so at a time. I know that some writers can sit for hours on end through marathon writing sessions.

Last month, over a nine-day period, I did seven separate writing sessions of about an hour each. And I encourage you to go through this same process to determine your own writing production level. I’m happy to share with you the results and what I learned. So I set out to uncover what my real writing speed is. This aspiration naturally leads to the question, “How much content can I reasonably expect to produce?” The best way to quantify it is to find out how many words you actually crank out per hour. If you’re like me, you wouldn’t mind increasing your writing output so you can get more books and information products to market. (Although a bit of coffee might help goose your enthusiasm.) Would you like to be much more productive as a writer? It’s possible, and you don’t have to turn into a machine or ingest huge amounts of caffeine to do it.
