I don't think I've ever written 5K in a day. During this challenge the most for one day was 1417, and the least was 133! I don't win any prizes for consistence LOLPaula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-41026549070763157022013-03-20T14:52:18.523-07:002013-03-20T14:52:18.523-07:00In the end, they probably do balance out, Jen, but...In the end, they probably do balance out, Jen, but when I was doing the fast write for NaNo, I ended up feeling irritated with myself, knowing how crappy my writing was!

A daily challenge like yours would not work well for me. <br /><br />My writing is so sporadic that I have no idea how many words I average in a day. It could be five...it could be five thousand...it all depends on the day.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-30229311096537762072013-03-20T14:43:18.708-07:002013-03-20T14:43:18.708-07:00I suspect they end up about equal.I suspect they end up about equal.JENNIFER WILCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218241106543538422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-60841920612824777172013-03-20T13:04:28.461-07:002013-03-20T13:04:28.461-07:00I turned off the inner editor during NaNoWriMo in ...I turned off the inner editor during NaNoWriMo in 2011, but it then took me about 6 months to rewrite! I'm not really sure which is the best way -fast write and slow revise, or vice versa!

It's a hard lesson, but one that was very useful at the time.JENNIFER WILCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218241106543538422noreply@blogger.com
