Susan: OK! I want to commemorate the historical day, December 16, 1773, with publishing my book on tea on December 16, 2014! :)

Susan: I am pretty fast on the keyboard, but a slow starter! ;) My book on tea will not be a long book, I am shooting for about 100 pages (10 chapter or so), with some illustrations and photos. I want it to be in a handy dandy format, so you could read it during your tea "ceremony" and travel.

I will start on May 1st. Will I be able to publish it on December 16? ;)

Susan: Thanks for your advice! I got the great advice to write down my answers to questions that my future could have. And the start to group them into sections / chapters.

What could be a manageable word count be per day?

That's up to you. How fast do you write? Aim for 1,000 words and see how easy or not that is.

Martin--

I'd suggest breaking down your book into smaller, more manageable tasks, like chapters, or even number of words. Don't look at the whole thing or it'll overwhelm you.
