I managed to almost hit my 2,000 words per day goal yesterday, at 1,700. Of course, today after not sleeping properly last night I can hardly muster the energy to write. I might make 1,000 if I'm lucky.

Not as productive as I would have liked this week, but I'm averaging about 1200 words a day.

Just saw this thread, think it's a fantastic idea.  I'm only just getting started, so a lot of my "writing time" is gonna have to go toward structuring and research, but I'm gonna set my goal at 500 to start with.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

500's a good target to start off on.

I had the house to myself yesterday and got cracking on Chapter 4 of my current WIP. Got over 2,000 words written, so I'm happy.

You guys are amazing! Great work.  No electric sites at campground! Loaded with ideas and no charged computer to get them down.  Probably going to give up last day here, just so I can be home on monday to write. :-( 

I never rack up numbers like you guys.  Im the turtle--one to two hours every morning before work.

Keep charging all!

I'm just glad that it wasn't a battle to this point.

Am I weird for loving that time when a word document breaks 100kb?

The wife and I counted, seventeen projects underway. Two done today, only fifteen to go..... At least one was a rewrite for the editor to fit it in to the magazine...

Regards,
Kevin
