When I did my attempt - I didn't even call it a goal - to write my Corral Christmas story, I didn't set a number of pages I wanted to do each day, but rather just made sure I sat down and wrote.<br /><br />And while I accomplished my attempt, most days I came away with about 500 to 600 words per day. Way short of what you're attempting. You've got more guts than me! :)<br /><br />I didn't work from an outline either, but I found it was fun to see where my characters took me each day.<br /><br />Good luck with your goal. No matter what, you will have accomplished a lot. And who knows, maybe the story that comes out will be even better than the one you envisioned.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-88635602018320397162015-02-17T15:32:18.316-08:002015-02-17T15:32:18.316-08:00I can't do outlines either.

I have sorted out a basic scenario/background for my next novel, so I know vaguely where I am going with it, but haven't got an outline of what will happen when. I think my characters will decide that!

I felt as though I was writing words simply to reach the target and, although I spent several months tidying up and editing the story afterwards, it has still remained my least favourite of all my stories.
