I tend to think in terms of scenes and like to get the whole scene down before I quite, though I can see the value in doing it. Great productivity ladies!!

You can find there people all the time writing for a few minutes, stopping to chat, then back to writing. I heard of some nice "marathons" there. Hahaha! I tried it once but my Muses don't work well under pressure. :P I’ve heard of doing something like this on the chatroom of the Romance Divas.

I've been working soooooo slowly lately and I think a timed thing would really be helpful. I've found I can usually get 1k an hour when I'm at top speed, but lately it's been more like 400 :(.

I was having a block, I knew where I wanted to go but couldn't get there. So we did this and OMG it was amazing. I'm 5k from my weekly goal because I want to get to 20k by Sunday. I managed 1,857 words during our write in. :D I'm sitting at just over 15k! I so want to do this virtual write in again!!! With more people!!! It would be so COOL!!!

We had to cancel this week's session because of scheduling conflicts but we'll have another couple set up for Feb. They're great for really putting the nose to the grindstone but still making it fun.

When I'm starting a new session for the day I'll read a couple of the last pages I wrote and continue from there. I find the little bit of editing I might do on the way to the new words actually helps get into a writing mood. Sometimes, I'll go to my favorite coffee shop for a change of scenery and take my alphasmart. Those are always good writing days. Basically, I write whether I feel like it or not. I've trained myself that way and I'm too stubborn to give up. Some days are painfully slow while others I fly through my writing targets. So yeah, the Nike slogan is me. Just do it. Great going with your targets, Christine. :) Stopping in the middle of a scene is a great idea!
