Here's where my accountant genes come into play. Is this pathetic or what?
On the other hand, it's keeping me on track as you can see. Even though some days I might write less and others more, I'm trying to maintain the close pace to what I need per day.
I like watching my bars keep on perfect pace with my target line. This is the sort of thing I do at work every day and it seems to be working for a billion dollar corporation. Why not me?
How about you? Do you write what you can each day, knowing you need a certain number of words to finish NaNo in 30 days, or do you just keep going like gangbusters until you hit 50k?
I know people who are done. Others who are stalled. Everyone works a little differently. And it's fun to hear what works and what doesn't.
