>tfw yesterday I could write 750 words with no effort, at last finishing that first draft, instead of getting tired and distracted as always when I wrote 500
Feels good, mane.

Congratulations, you write as much as I do during breakfast.

Congrats, you write more during breakfast than I do in a day.
You happy now?

>>7779876
How many words a day do you write?
>>
>>7779898

Around 2k-4k.

Pretty much the length of any standard, unimportant college/university essay, which has always been the target I've set myself during those times of the year when I'm in a writing mood.

It's easy to hit.

why even bother counting words, practice techniques and execution, get something completed.

>>7779901
That's a healthy dose. I do 2k a day of fresh writing, then I usually edit longhand and then rewrite up to 5-7k of older material.
>>
Is this a variation of the "tfw 24 hours to go and still have to write 500 words for my school essay" meme?
>>
>>7779904

If I didn't set myself targets, I'd never finish what I start. So it's really just hitting two birds with one stone.

Are you guys talking about fiction?
I feel 500 words of new content is the maximum, unless you write shit or already know what to write. Any more than that and I only spout content below my standards.

>>7779949
I'm not them and I've gotten up to 4k a day 5 days a week for a month straight at one point when I was writing this one book that I'd already outlined and planned out in advance. I finished it in about a month but I wouldn't recommend it unless money isn't a concern and you don't have a job or any responsibilities because you're not going to get anything else done that month.
