Last summer, I was writing 5,000 words a day. Were they a polished 5,000 words? No way! My daily word count has always included notes (or questions) to self and outlines and Post-its on my computer screen. I figure, writing's writing. Even though I'll ditch 4,000 of my 5,000 words later, those 4,000 words were all exploratory--they allowed me to learn something about my book that I wouldn't have just sticking to writing 1,000 polished, beautiful words a day...Holly Schindlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-63453699667941313312011-11-26T05:50:58.921-06:002011-11-26T05:50:58.921-06:00Hi Brian, wonderful post :) I know where you are c...Hi Brian, wonderful post :) I know where you are coming from with this, I always see those twitter feeds and groan too!
