Two weeks ago I joined a challenge with Kelly McCausey regarding the number of words a week that we type or write. As we all know, writing articles and blog posts are important in business. Kelly challenged us to write at least 2000 words a week. She said we could do this in articles and blog posts. I decided to take her up on the offer and give it a try.
The first week I wrote more than 2000 words, but they were for clients only. I made a few blog posts, but the words were not nearly enough to reach the 2000 words. I feel even though the articles were not mine, I still reached the goal.
This week however, was a different story. I reached the 2000 word goal earlier in the week with client articles. My family and I went to the mountain this afternoon. I must have gotten a spark of writing energy or something because I wrote four articles this evening for myself alone. So I reached and exceeded this goal and that’s a great feeling!
So my goal for this week coming up is to write 2000 words for myself again. I have thought about setting word goals for my client articles as well as my personal articles. How about 2000 words for my clients and 2000 words for myself? I guess we’ll see how it goes.
Here is a link to the challenge she made.
Here’s to a great week!

That is awesome to write 2000 words on a consistant basis. I’m wondering if I could write 4, 500 word articles??
I think I probably do this just have never counted I wrote 5 blog posts last night alone.
What a great challenge. I’m new to the idea of article writing and am just starting. It wasn’t that long ago that I started my blog and I am finding that I am enjoying writing much more than I thought I would! Didn’t think about setting a “word count” challenge for myself, but that’s a great idea. I’ll see how this week goes and then keep moving forward!
Thanks for sharing this info!
Happy Netweaving!

As a professional paralegal, I've always considered myself good at writing, both complimentary and anything remotely connected to poison pen! Coming up with words is not a problem, it's content & research that I find difficult!
Congrats to you that you have the content to write about & ability to gather your thoughts!
