most productive day ever
SCARPA:
I seem to write in small bits and spurts. Sometimes only a few hundred words in a shot. It works, but slowly. I am currently rewriting a 60,000 word draft into an 80,000 word manuscript. I am learning to consider sucess in terms of context than quantity. I do think its important to be consistant with the time I spend though, even if its only a little bit each day.

I don't actually rate my productiveness (is that even a word?) in terms of wordcount; I base it on getting through a difficult scene, solving a continuity problem, or closing a plot loophole you can drive a truck through, but my typical output for one session is 5-6 pages double spaced, 10 point Courier.

Considering I'm Greener than the Hulk when it comes to writing, I've not had most experiences. I thank God and several other deities that I've had the chance to write. But my best sofar was for my Advanced writing course. I had a chapter of my Novella to finish and I did roughly 5-6 pages, single spaced, in a span of 4 or so hours. Afterwards, I promptly had my aneurysm, regrouped, cleaned the blood from my nose and read to see if it was legible and coherent.

Actually, I just topped myself. 8 pages double spaced, and it's all coherent and makes sense.
Now, excuse me...

I believe that it is productivity. But close enough.
Ya I base success on getting more than what I had originally planned on written in one sitting.
