Soooooo almost exactly a month ago I said I was committing to writing 1000 words a day. I had been writing that much pretty regularly and didn’t think it would be hard to keep going. But it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. When I’m really moving on a piece, I can write 1000 words in half an hour or less. But I’ve discovered that when I’m editing one story and revising another and don’t know what to work on next, my free-writing tends to peter out around 600 words. Hmm. So instead of giving up and calling myself a failure, I’m just scaling back a little. I can do 500 words a day. Really. And if my word count keeps dropping, surely I can do 250 words a day. But I hope it doesn’t come to that.
