This week, a little life update and some practical advice on setting writing goals for those of you who need numbers and a schedule to get motivated! You didn’t think we’d be doing math on this podcast, did you?

We talk average word count ranges for the top three nonfiction genres: prescriptive, memoir, and narrative nonfiction. We’ll also share our thoughts on how long it should take you to write a book and how to figure out an ideal daily, weekly, or chapter word count goal – or take a different approach and set a time goal instead.

In this episode, we mentioned Otter.ai and Rev.com for dictations and transcribing recordings to make your life even easier and help you get started.
