February Sweeps, Three Weeks In

It's been three weeks of this writing every day thing, and so far, Rish and I have both managed to succeed 100% of the time. Neither one of us has failed to write a single day this month.

So, after day twenty-one, here's what it looks like:

Rish: 32,717
Big: 24,104

At the end of last week, things were starting to separate out a little bit. Rish has a lot of big days. Sometimes he has low count days, but more frequently he has the high number days. We were close after last week, but this week, there's starting to be some big separation. If you look at our daily count, you'll see why. Our daily counts look like this.

Rish 1st: 1458 Big 1st: 1078
Rish 2nd: 1018 Big 2nd: 1160
Rish 3rd: 1335 Big 3rd: 1119
Rish 4th: 1531 Big 4th: 1137
Rish 5th: 301 Big 5th: 1088
Rish 6th: 1536 Big 6th: 1609
Rish 7th: 2063 Big 7th: 1007
Rish 8th: 1120 Big 8th: 1025
Rish 9th: 1245 Big 9th: 1189
Rish 10th: 1625 Big 10th: 1191
Rish 11th: 1452 Big 11th: 1067
Rish 12th: 2877 Big 12th: 1176
Rish 13th: 844 Big 13th: 1049
Rish 14th: 1702 Big 14th: 1416
Rish 15th: 1336 Big 15th: 1015
Rish 16th: 678 Big 16th: 1062
Rish 17th: 1381 Big 17th: 1026
Rish 18th: 2303 Big 18th: 1161
Rish 19th: 3166 Big 19th: 1014
Rish 20th: 1438 Big 20th: 1375
Rish 21st: 2308 Big 21st: 1145

Yeah, Rish had more than 2,000 words three different days this week, one of those times being more than 3,000. The guy's a nut, a machine. It surprises me to see him go all out for this. He has a tendency to complain about how much time it takes to write every day, but here he is putting in hours worth of his time each day to get in 3,000 words. My plan has been to write pretty much every day for a whole year, but that wasn't Rish's plan. He just likes to turn each February into a write-every-day month, and usually is sick of it by the time the month is coming to an end. This time around, he seems to be building in excitement and drive. I wonder how long he'll keep writing every day after February ends. We can only guess, place our bets, and wait to see, I suppose. I'm going to let it ride on red. All in.
