I wrote about 1300 words and finished a rough draft! And stayed up until 3 AM to do it. Oops.
I usually set goals of the "finish this scene/chapter/fic" variety rather than specific word count goals, so anything I don't get done just rolls over to the next day or week. If I miss a deadline to submit something for a fic fest/challenge I usually just leave the WIP perma-unfinished and move on to something else, tbh... I would like to do less of that and circle back around to finish more of those for amnesty periods (I think I have almost a dozen partially written ficlets for fan_flashworks), but I haven't made it a priority. The one long-running goal I have is my year-long "write on at least 180 days" with getyourwordsout, which obviously has its own temporal logic that can't be fudged!
