1000 Words Update

My goal to write 1000 words a day has been going very well, I think. This, despite the fact that I started off doing about 1000 with no problem and then it started to dwindle down to about 5 or 600. Part of that was because for two days I felt like utter crap. But I couldn't seem to regain my momentum after that.

Still, I made quite a lot of progress on the story which had been on the back burner. I wrote in my journal every day and always first. I find it serves as a sort of brain dump which allows me to move on to other endeavors more easily. Other than working on the story, I also wrote some random scenes and snippets and of course my occasional blog entries.

I don't know whether it would be better to stick with the goal of 1000 words a day or to lower it to 500, which seems much more manageable. It could be that I just need to give it more time and I'll be able to hit 1000 more regularly, so I'll keep it at 1000 and see how it goes for another week.
