I have to admit that the writing-1000-words-a-day thing didn’t work out for me as well as I’d hoped it would. It just didn’t seem meaningful to stop writing at some random place, and I never seemed to have scheduled enough time to continue to a sensible stopping place.

So then I decided to complete subsections. The document I’m currently writing isn’t that big, so this seemed reasonable. However, I can’t tell how long a given section will take to write, even though it doesn’t look long from my notes, it still seems to take a while because there’s thinking and stuff to be done as well.

I’m also trying to move the deadline because I’m going to a course on how to get published on Thursday, so I’d like to not have to go to Essex twice in one week – have you seen the price of petrol these days?! Plus, it’ll be more productive if I spend less time travelling.

Tell the world about this!
