Figuring that my goal was to write two pages a day, and a page of manuscript contains an average of 250 words, my word count goal was about 500 words a day.
The first two or three days I worked for the thirty or forty minutes and barely met my goal--510, 520, something like that. I was getting to know the characters and trying to shake the cobwebs out of my keyboard (from lack of use and practice), and striving to get toward the beginning of the story.
Today, though, I hit what I call the inciting moment--the moment that gets the story going--and typing started to take off.
Today's forty-minute word count? 1,075.
