I read on Hip Writer's Mama's blog recently about setting goals, and she'd heard the suggestion of writing 1,000 words a day. I thought I'd try it out, and I've liked it so far: 1,000 words is doable, and even if I know I won't be able to keep that pace every day, it is nice to think that writing a 1,000 words a day would mean a finished manuscript in two months.

Of course, we should all just not mention how I've totally put one manuscript that needs revisions on hold while I dash off to write another. Darn my schizo-writing mind!
