Ever since I joined Wattpad, I've always made it a goal to get AT LEAST 1,000 words, it used to be the goal to reach that much, but now it's my bare minimum number. Truthfully, I try to get over 1,500 or reach 2,000. 

But I joined Wattpad in 2018, it's become kinda natural for me to write that much. Hell, for school I had to write a story in another character's perspective and I spent an hour or two writing it, when I got to school I casually was like, "Mine was like 5 pages," and this girl looked at me shocked and asked, "How???" 

It's an ability I've mastered. I can't exactly explain how I've gotten so good at it, but considering the fact I've written way too many books- not including the ones on here- with 1,000 word chapters (for one of them the chapters got to about 2,000 each time), so I'm gonna guestimate because four of those books are deleted,

1 was 21 chapters... 

2 I'm gonna guess was 8 chapters...

3. I'm assuming was 6 chapters...

4. I think was 3 chapters...

5. One was 5 chapters

6. I think it was about 3 chapters...

7. This one was 24 chapters (timing it by 2, it's 48 chapters)

8. One I was working on but never finished/never gonna publish is 4 chapters

9. My original book was 11 chapters

And I had three "ask or dare" books, which I'm gonna assume had 500 words on them at average, so I'll divide them by 2

10. 17.5 chapters 

11. 4.5 chapters

12. 37 chapters

So to quickly do the math, 

That's 168,000 words at a rough estimate

BUT WE'RE NOT DONE!

Let's go over my oneshot book from my main, with 12,000 words if we're assuming 8 of the 9 chapters had 1,500 words, but one chapter, chapter 9, has 7,000 words. So, 19,000 words for that one

On this account, almost all my chapters have at least 1,500 words, but I do have the real numbers! I copied and pasted 3 of my books onto google docs, and I can see through the word counter tool.

To make this easy, Magnet has exactly 6,192 words,

Bells Ringing has 4,937 words

And Enchanted Captivaton has 12,973 words.

For one shots, Magnet's Bad Ending has 1,754 words, Soft has 1,503 words, and The Nurses Office has 1,346 words. I'm not counting The Knight and The Devil because that's also in my oneshot book on my main.

So, for practical purposes, I'm rounding Magnet to 6,000 words, Bells Ringing to 5,000 words, Enchanted Captivation to 13,000 words, Bad ending to 2,000 words, keeping Soft as 1,500 words, and The Nurses office shall be 1,000 words.

Time to get adding shall we? 

That's... 28,500 words!

Adding those together, we get:

196,500 words! Yaaaaay...

That's not even counting all the writing I've done on google docs.

So I'm gonna assume I've written a good million words in my life.

But that's normal for me.

Writing to close to 2,000 words is normal for me because I've been doing it for years. 

Uh idk it's 1 AM and I just wanted to do something. So I made this.
