Uh, I guess my brain has decided that my target pace should be 5k words per day? I'm not sure how I figured that. I don't remember exactly how last year went, just that I finished my novel in the first two weeks...but I don't want to do that this year because I'm going to the NOWD and would like to have something to work on there, at least.
ANYWAY. Obviously I'm not complaining about being bizarrely productive. Of course, now that I've set this pace for myself, I will have to continue at or above it until I finish the novel. I'm most productive when I sequester myself far from all distraction, listen to a good fast-paced song on repeat so it fades into the background, and write in ten-minute timed bursts. Keeping track of the results also helps.
As for the novel...I'm figuring out where it's headed. A lot has happened, but I still feel like I'm filling in background, figuring it out as I write it, which means I'll probably lop off much of these first 5k when I go back and revise. For now, though, have to get some sleep so I can wake up at 6 again tomorrow and keep writing.
Good luck to everyone else!
