Question for authors: Have you written lately?

Um, yeah! I write every day...like, 500k words a day. Sometimes 600k if I'm feeling especially diligent...

500,000 words! In ONE DAY?!? :o 600,000 when you're feeling diligent! :o I'm in awe!
Me, I try to write every day. But my personal target is 500 words. If the story is really flowing, I sometimes get 1,000+ and on one or two notable times, I actually managed 2,000 words. But mostly, I keep to 500 and sometimes have to be satisfied with less.
Murphy's Stunt Double:
Um... Kathleen... please tell me you didn't actually buy that, did you?
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
fwiw, I once wrote 10,500 words in a day. It was not good for my hands, though.
If I could keep that up I could have written my entire PhD thesis in two days and a morning, instead of eight months.

File under 'G' for gullible.
Though, I admit, she had me for a moment too.
I just try to write. I don't have goals for words. I just have the goal that what I write won't suck. I work three 12-hour shifts on the weekend, which makes it near impossible to write then. During the week I usually get a couple thousand words a day. But then, I'm motivated; I hate my job.

Hope:
Maybe if I would think of that I would get some writing done more often also. :o
