word count

[alishenai.livejournal.com]

This is my first Nano and to make it harder I haven't written anything in years. So far I've just been trying to write at least the
1,666 words per day or if I can, an even 2,000. But no more than that because I have a lot of colleage work that I need to finish. Anyway it makes me nervous to see that some people are writing 4,000 or more words per day. So I just wondered is anyone else only writing the minimal 1,666?

Write what you can write. I know I only wrote around 4000 on the first day was because of the inspiration and the motivation to get ahead. On the second day I was around 2000. Honestly, just write what you can because you'll end up surprising yourself later. I have school, as well, and that's a major factor in how many words I can be bothered to write, so, people have different factors in their life that contribute to their pushing out of 4000 words or 1000.

I say as long as you're writing something then that's pretty amazing in itself.
