[QUOTE="yangnome, post: 2701678, member: 7413"] Just passed 25k! I'm really happy how this is going this year. For those having troubles, I highly suggest participating in the 30 minute word wars. It really has made a difference in my wordcount. For me, it sets a deadline; a short period where I do nothing but write. After each wordwar, I wait fifteen minutes, then start another 30 minute period. Each time I generlaly get between 900-1200 words, occassionally more, occassionally less-- though my numbers seem to be rising. I can start off where I left off or with a fresh chapter. Ideas come quickly and they get put on paper. The best part is it isn't crap. By following this pattern, I can sit down for two hours, write 1.5 hours with a 30 minute break (15 minutes each 30 mins) and get more than 3000 words done-- not a bad total for the day. During my 15 minute breaks, I update my wordcount; check forums, email, etc; grab a fresh cup of coffee and set up my next document for the start of the next 30 minutes. It really seems to work well and you can see your progress increase in front of you. I am a word war whore. [/QUOTE]
