Damn! How much do you write each day?

[Feo Takahari]

Because I have an expensive chronic condition, and because of the risk that Obama's health care reforms will be repealed, writing literally has to be my hobby--I can only make a career out of a job that provides employee health insurance. I don't usually write on workdays, but on other days, I can write an entire short story in one sitting (~3000 words.)

I just started writing around Christmas. I try to write from 5-7 everymorning before I get the kids to school and go to work. I try to hit 1000 words in that 2 hours but honestly it seems to depend on what is happening in my story. I can write 1700 words if its an action sequence, but if I'm working on a crucial part of the plot I may only get 300-400 words. Dialogue slows me down alot as well.

It depends on how inspired I am. I've written almost 3,000 words in one day more than once, but usually I churn out half that number.

I do between 1,000 to 2,000 words per sitting. The problem is to get a consistent schedule down. I probably only write 3 or 4 times a week.

Right now, I'm just not writing enough. I'm trying out daily free writing, with a goal for a set word count, over the next two weeks to see how it pans out. Since this free writing will be done prior to work on intended projects, I'll probably be keeping track of my progress on both accounts. Right now, my free-write goal is something attainable until I get into habit - 500 words on that, and then whatever I can manage on my chosen project for the day.
