You’re right on all those points! I gave up one evening to a video game, but then I’d burned out that day so I figured one day off would be okay. I jumped right back in the saddle the next night and have been doing good since.

The support group does help. I personally like being able to post my word count for the day and get those “Attaboys” back when I do. Gives me a little rush of encouragement.

As for starting late, I did nothing the first day of the month, and spent 2 days last week reading through my old outline for the project I picked to work on this month. But I was able to catch up enough to surpass my weekly goal, so it worked out okay.

Sounds like you’re doing very well! Especially at 2K words a day! Woohoo!

I’m also learning how to do Crappy First Draft – my inclination’s always been to revise-as-I-go, and that’s not going to work.

I can put out c.2000 words per day, provided I stay disciplined. I can and will do it!
