I am currently taking some time out of paid work to have a break and write fulltime (long story) so I write every weekday and sometimes at the weekend. However, I tend to be quite hard on myself if I only manage to write 1000 words that day. Other times I can write more but just wondered if I should be more disciplined or less harsh on myself. I'm not always happy with what I've written and go back and edit frequently. I know we are all different in what we write but just wondered if others feel the same about their writing.
Thank you Adrian and everyone else who has answered. Much appreciated
It is interesting to see many replies suggesting three-hundred words a day.
Graham Greene advocates 300 words a day. It does not sound much, but it amounts to 2100 a week. 109,200 a year is enough for a novel.
I am landmarking, and doing a final edit of my novel at the moment, but when I started to write, I set myself a target of 600 words a day.
Word wars? Isn't that a Nanowrimo thing?
