Damn. That is some quick writing. You people put me to shame with how prolific you are. Please tell me you write for a living.
Up to 244k today. Taking a four-day weekend to relax. Hope to do some more editing and writing.

116k AIS
I do right now. Although I've got to put out another book to get into that 'for a living' part.
So far about 9k written today. I was kind of hoping for 10k when I had 5k by noon and that might still happen but I'm definitely feeling the grind at this point.

Keep up the good work everyone. Life can get in your way more than you can tolerate sometimes. But if you grind through it someday you'll get back to the creative side
Congradulating to everyone whose posted some forward progress. Keep up the good work guys. Tell yourself that completion and eventual success is around the corner and keep going as best you can!
If you haven't been able to do anything for a while don't despair. I spent about ten years off and on just doing story starts and not really getting anywhere. Wife, kids, family, day job and all those other critical side things that are life can get in the way.
Just come back to it as you are able.
I've said this before and I'll say it again David Drake manages 500 words a day every day. Hardly a paragon of rapid forward progress! And he's a published author with 20-30? books. Its not always the rabbit that wins the race. So don't let anyone's speed get you down. Personally I've been writing more than 5K a day, writing at top speed and spewing out, IMO, a great story. My brother routinely does 12k a day when he's writing and on my best day ever, a 9k day, that same day he managed 20k. Talk about being overshadowed.
It doesn't matter what others do, I mean it does if you want to read their books for yourself! but otherwise the most important thing is that you stay dedicated, you stay focused and eventually get your creation completed (at least to the point of book 1) and get it out there!
Best of luck to everyone. I believe in you! You're here, you're trying and that's half of it right there. Now all you have to do is that very hardest part in the world. Keep pounding on it without diverting!
