"Bird by Bird" says that 300 words a day, unedited is FINE. Just to sit down and DO IT, so by doing it every day? You are doing it! XD
If that made any sort of sense. Some days it's a miracle if I get to 300-400 words and some days my hand feels like it's going to fall off and I've written 2,000!
It just depends. On my mood, environment, what sort of scene I'm writing.
Is it really intense or is it a group scene where it's EASY to have lots of things happening and the dialog is popping back and forth. It was EASY to write the Lake scenes in WIP. They just came SO SO fast. But the Envy bit at the end of 44? It took forever and I agonized over it. Writing OUT of that scene in 45? Also took forever. (Since Mustang and Havoc were BOTH so "touchy" and I had to make sure that no one sounded like a melodramatic tween. ;))
So there it is. XD (I love it when people share process.)
AND "Bird by Bird"? I reviewed it in my journal. It's a must. (And I laughed and was touched in so many places.)
