Duh....

I always have a hard time setting out on an intrepid new project without smaller goals to help me along. Thusly, I'm actually floundering in my first freaking chapter, simply because I don't have a word count goal. I know what to write, but it's making me twitchy.

Couldn't find it on the NaNo homepage FAQs or anywhere I looked. So what's the starting word count goal for each day? Is it somewhere around 1800 words? I kind of remember having to write 2500 by the end of the month last year--but that's because I was easily distracted. Seeing a pattern here, anyone?

This whole writing in the morning thing is taking far more brain power than I expected. Sigh. Thanks in advance for whomever takes pity on my witless state.
