It occurs to me, in retrospect, that all that crazy blogging I've been doing lately probably counts as writing. So, I've actually been hitting my goal without even realizing it.

WIN each day this week and last (excluding weekends). 2.5 more chapters in the books. Only 760 words this morning because of an overeager puppy.

I think if I could antibump this thread (i.e. Knock it down one line a day if I write 1000 words) it would give me some added motivation to meet my daily word count goals.
We would need two teams - the bumpers and the antibumpers - and the antibumpers would win if they knocked this thread to the next page. The bumpers would merely be playing defense.
I think I may have hit 1000 today, but I rarely count. But I think it is worthy of one antibump.
One of the best pieces of writing advice I've ever attempted to apply to my efforts was to pick a daily word count goal, then reach it daily. Prior to that, I've always written something---or performed some sort of task that contributed to one of my stories---every day, but my new word count was almost never a worthy accomplishment. My new daily word count goal has changed quite a few things with the way I'm performing my task, so, for obvious reasons, I'm quite fanatical when it comes to reaching it.
That said, consider me having hit at least 600 words a day for the last month. The next time I post here will be to announce I've upped my goal.

Only 309 today, but the last two were "The End". So I think that counts as hitting target, along with a few hundred words character development
