Welcome to the official Bill Bunn author site!

I have to admit, I don’t feel ready or motivated to write 500 words a day (two pages). It’s work. I know there will be days where I feel like writing, but many days I won’t. And that’s the point. The point is to write consistently, daily, regardless of my feelings.

Here are the rules I work with (create your own if these don’t suit you):

1. Write two pages every day — that’s 500 words (Unless you’re a poet). The goal is not perfection. The goal is two pages of a crappy first draft. Quantity, not quality.
2. Write six days a week.
3. Take one day each week off.
4. Write 2 pages a day until the last day of June, 2024.

Let’s see what happens!

It’s just a good habit, right? Writing every day for a sustained period of time, regardless of how I feel. I post on Twitter just because it’s a kind of accountability.

So yes, it’s time again to do two pages a day again. I’ve got two stories I’ll start with and hopefully complete, and then we’ll see where things go from there.

4. Write 2 pages a day until the last day of June, 2022.

Here’s to the words ahead!

Okay, okay. I’m late. Again. Every. Single. Year. This time, I was prompted by a friend as I was thinking I would do my two-page thing, but not post anything. But, for the sake of accountabiliity, I will post.

After a hiccup, we’ve finally settled on a launch date for my new book, Out on the Drink. February 1. Mark your calendars. I know I’ve marked mine. The launch and reading dates will be forthcoming. I can’t wait to smell that new book smell once again!

Artist Jeff Delierre has done it again. He’s the same artist who did the revised Duck Boy cover, and the Kill Shot cover. What do you think? It makes me cold, just looking at it.
