Week 5 of Milwordy…what a beautiful, momentous, FRUSTRATING week. Ended a decade of publishing and started a new one. But how did the start of this new one go?
Well, let’s get into it!

MY THOUGHTS
Week 5 was a mixed bag in terms of writing for me.
On the one hand, it had so many positives:
- Stronger start to the month than the previous month (7,456 month vs last month’s 5,292), so I’m already starting to write faster.
- The first two days this week were the last two days in what I’m going to call Publishing Decade #1, while the rest of the week were the first five days of Publishing Decade #2. And I’ve got to say that I believe the first three days of this week carried the rest of the week.
- Day 2 (my 10th author anniversary) was my first 3k day and the highest daily word count of my challenge so far. Simply because I wrote and posted 3 blog posts in one day, (the posts can be found in the highlighted text Publishing Decade #1), and I handwrote and typed my 2 college assignments for that day, doubling the word count (yes, I’m allowing that).
- My Academic/Personal Development teacher subscribed to my website!
And that’s where the positives kind of end.
This week was the second-to-lowest creative week, but I guess that’s kind of par for the course, right?
I was just expecting Week 6 to be my drop in words (both creatively and academically), but still carried by Week 5, 7, and ESPECIALLY Week 8.
But it was still a good week.
What about you? How was your first week of December?
