I love Jack London's. And he's right there around my daily word count, of maybe 1,500 — "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
Also, you have to bear in mind that most of them have writing as a day job. 3000 words a day is too much for me with my job. I'm right there at about 1000 average.

Am I game to read this.... I'll be back! (Maybe) ... 10,000!! Nar, I don't believe that, especially not EVER day. It really depends if they mean their best days or an average? 600 seems a little low, but if you spread it over a year, when you spend days and weeks editing, then it seems reasonable. Interesting all the same

It makes me sad that Writers Write is in South Africa.

10k!!! Wowzer!
I'm aiming for Nicole's daily word count. Currently am at around 300-500. Most of the time i find walking whilst plotting next chapter helps also reading and examining published children's author's writing is useful. Ever since i reread my first draft i've been exploring adding various plot layers and dialogue exchanges. Some work some don't. Still experimental stages. But with a looming deadline it has to come together...somehow.
