YOu know this may be common knowldege, but being a newbie I have not read it yet. Anyway, I was doing some claculations and it seems that you only need 2000 words written in a single day and you will well exceed the goal. Using this as a guidline you will see that it even allows for a cuple days of not writing (1 a week plus 1) for planning as you go. Just a thought to make this daunting task not so daunting.

I don't know that its common knowledge, but I usually aim for over on weekdays (2400-2500) so that weekends I can write much less. It usually is harder for me to write on weekends because of family stuff. I wouldn't advise taking whole days off though. Just write something, even if its just 10 words, to keep your mind in the story.

Happy Novelling!

i will admit - i am in no mood to do this, and so i have not written but a few words, however, your ideal is inspiring me - a mere 2000 a day - sounds easy enough. thank you
