What represents a successful writing session for you?

I consider a session successful if I can crank out 500 words. Some days, I'm happy to get 50 or 100, but I like to manage more. Some days the words just flow. Some days, they're like pulling teeth.

Today's the last day of school for my daughter for the year. That means my writing time is going to be difficult to come by. I'm going to have to learn to write while she's around and while the TV is going. Challenging but I do want to keep writing and not wait until September. Wish me luck!

I did some editing and posted the edited chapter in several places. These chapters are already written and previously posted, but I'm putting the WIP up at Ao3 now, and taking the opportunity to revisit and edit the story. In the process I found a discrepancy for a later chapter that will easily be fixed, so I made note of that for future reference.

I've been having enough trouble making time for writing lately that I have begun defining a successful writing session as spending at least half an hour doing something that involves my stories -- whether it be writing, editing or researching. However, an actual word count is always the ultimate goal. I have a tendency to not stop writing once I start getting words on the page, so I don't have a particular word count I am aiming for. However, I'm not really able to make progress until I get at least 100, it seems like.
