A good day is 3500 to 4000 words. I also do a fair amount of half-days where I get about 2000 words and spend the rest of the day doing real-life stuff. I never go more than a couple of days in a row without writing, though, unless I absolutely can't help it, and generally it's just one day off and then back to it.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-15085329199133641032017-12-11T08:32:47.785-06:002017-12-11T08:32:47.785-06:00Fantastic!Fantastic!Paul R.

Let's see, working every day that would be a little over 2700 a day, which is feasible to contemplate... except I have days when I have to do nothing but revise, or days when I have to pace around and work on the outline, or days when the wife needs me to fix something... <br /><br />I assume you have the same, so it's probably not a straight 27 (and something) thousand words each day. It's probably more like 4k on most days so that you can address the occasional interruption. <br /><br />That's dedication, and organization, and finely honed skill, and I bow in your direction.Howard Andrew Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051361158568370589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-13963034983289433722017-12-10T20:10:29.716-06:002017-12-10T20:10:29.716-06:00I hope you don't sneeze next year and fall 10,...I hope you don't sneeze next year and fall 10,000 words short.
