Today's discussion question: What represents a successful day of writing for you?

For me, it tends to be getting any words down in my document. I mean, I need planning time and research time, but I always feel like I'm not really making any progress unless I put words on the page.

I spent a couple of hours transferring notes to my fic document in Jarte, in preparation for rewriting a fic that needs a mix of simple editing and adding some new material to make it work better. I think I have all the pieces in place to actually begin working on the rewrite, so I just have to start now!

The most successful day is getting words on the page, but I also feel like I have had a measure of success when I spend time doing something writing related, such as research or note taking or brainstorming ideas.

words on the page, but any number of words. No matter how few. Slow and steady, etc.

I spent a few hours going over my outline for my kids big bang and managed to confuse myself with the flashback chapter :( I now know that my child oc is a boy, my characters told me :)

Having words on the page even as bullet points list is a successful writing day.
