THE END
So that's 95,500 words in 21 days and boy are my arms tired. Fingers, too. I don't think I'll write over the weekend.
As far as the manuscript goes--it's a beautiful slag heap of a thing, but I love it.
It needs lots of revision, but for now--it's DONE

I once went on a writing binge and (believe it or not) wrote a 120,000 novel in three weeks, 22 days actually. And that really took it out of me. But fortunately it was a sequel with two years of development, an intensely detailed outline, and about 30 pages of notes. So, if you did this with any less, I have the deepest respect for you.
But I'll never do it again :P
I'm confident that 1,000 to 2,500 daily is a good range for me.
But think-- 1,000 words per day, even with weekends off, is 2.5 books per year. 2,500 per day, weekends off, is just over 6 books per year.
A good, solid habit of writing a couple pages every day can make a big difference. That's the biggest thing I've learned from this. Just do it.
I learned to disconnect my internet before I write. I learned to set a time that I start, and to just open the document and start writing. Once I start, I'm fine. Starting is the hard part.
...editing.
I just can't seem to get my head around it. Hope you can!
Wow. Disconnect your internet? How do you do tha
Oh, yeah, and don't forget to save it, multiple times, and printout if you're so inclined.
Seriously though, good job. I am not only impressed, I'm inspired. Let's see if I can approach 4000 words today.
Now give yourself a pat on the back and a few days break... atleast is what i did...>>>> I learned to disconnect my internet before I write. I learned to set a time that I start, and to just open the document and start writing. Once I start, I'm fine. Starting is the hard part.
Every time I start writing a new novel, I find the prospect daunting, I surf the Internet, chat, clean my office, do piles of laundry. 
But then, if I just sit down at my computer and write for at least a solid 1-1/2 to 2 hours at least 4 or 5 days each week, I soon have a new novel. I'm writing a science fiction novel now that I'm finally really into; but I had to go through that stage of just making myself avoid distractions and sit down and write. I'm hoping to complete the novel by Spring.
