Hmmm. In order to be on track I should have had 10,002 words written by midnight last night. I only had 9,004. Part of the problem: stayed out too late Saturday night and slept in very late Sunday morning. Then worked on packing with E, and spent a few lazy, lovely hours at a friend's house in the afternoon.
I'm annoyed with myself for not making more progress over the weekend, but I'm still not worried ... Not yet. If I write about 2000 words a day this week, I'll be back on track by Friday.
Robin,
What is your short story about? Is it bad luck to let anyone know about it so early? I don't know how long it takes to write 2,000 words. I have never tried.

But if I'm on a roll, I can write as many as 1200 words per hour. So my daily goal takes about 2-3 hours. I have the best success when I get up early and do it before I do anything else.
