Yep, starting at this point, I decided to switch projects. I felt like I've finished writing all that I needed to write out for RoaS for a moment, so I'm starting writing for STA now.

So, that was it. Two spin-offs and 11,913 words, nearly a total of 12,000 words that I've typed; a thousandth of nearly half of all those hours I've spent on this session. From my own findings, even without many distractions, I've appeared to be a slow writer. For most of these hours, I've averaged around 400-600 words per hour. I've been meaning to see if I could write at a faster rate while my time was mostly on focused this, but my hunch wasn't right.

In the end of it all, though, was it worth it? I'd say yes. My main goal of this challenge was to see if I can actually commit to this, and I was satisfied enough to see that I did. Spending 24 hours of my time on this at least helped speed up the progress of my work. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much progress I've made for one particular episode in one day. Nearly 3/4 of completion for an episode of a hefty project like Rebirth of a Storm? That's more than just progress. I wasn't able to finish an episode during the whole session per se, but as I said before, I am at most satisfied to see how much I've got done.

24 hours of consecutive writing, that's something I'll probably never do again, but after this one time I've done this, I feel like I'm better off giving myself these days where I'm self-disciplined to write for a specific amount of time without doing much else.
