Yes, you do write a 50,000 word novel in a month, but nobody's getting published right out of the gate. There are months of editing that come after the writing. Some really great published novels have come out of that thirty day period. I do understand that you are recommending 100 days and not saying it's necessary, but I just thought I'd add that.

You mentioned two things that alot of people don't. One, once done put it away for a couple of months. Two, read it out loud. To me two of the most important tools to a writer.

That's it in a nutshell. Now why did I spend 1,000+ words when you said it so succinctly? :) Yup. That’s it in a nutshell. Now why did I spend 1,000+ words when you said it so succinctly? :)
