Brilliant Caro, I also love to set myself targets and make myself accountable in this way. In non-fiction I’d say the first 30,000 words are the hardest. In fiction I’d say every single word is hard won, for this reason for my second novel I decided to write a novella so it didn’t seem to overwhelming and told myself I would flesh it out in the redraft -- which I am still doing. Good luck!
How do I write? Much less, and less frequently, than I'd like. That productive window seems to grow smaller and smaller with each passing day of my life. Keep sharing your word count — it's good to know what's possible, even if I'm not achieving it right now. 'What woman has done, woman can do.'
