It is worse. But at least I got something done.

Want to hide. The whole week went down the drain.

Do you like to set yourself daily word count targets? Or do you prefer to write a certain amount of time every day? Or do you write according to how you feel that day? (I confess I tend to do that last.)

I'm saving the poll for later, as I might actually get a chance to do something writerly this evening. The heat seems to have broken so it's a lot easier to think finally!

I mostly just write according to how I feel. I don't worry about word count (unless I need a certain amount for a particular challenge). I haven't gotten into the habit of writing for a certain amount of time per day, though both that and the word count quota are disciplines I know are helpful for some people. It might be worth trying sometime to set a word count target or writing time target.

I have been updating my fic when I feel the need to, but I try to write about at least 500 words for each update, so there's a mix of both.
