Do you aim for a set amount of words/pages per day when writing?
ReplyDeleteOkay, for some reason, my comment didn't post before, but I try for 2000 words in a "writing day" but those only happen in the summer. I usually come around 3500-4000 in a full writing day. That's 2 chapters. Chapters are about 1500-2000 words on average. Thanks for asking.
DeleteThanks for hosting!
