So according to an interview with Neil Gaiman in the back of Good Omens, before Terry Pratchett became a full time writer he wrote at least 400 words a day.
I’ve been trying it out for a couple weeks now and let me tell you 400 words is a totally awesome goal. It is very approachable and not intimidating, often leads to more than 400 words cause well now I have to finish this scene.
Seriously I probably would have written nothing in the last couple weeks, instead I’ve written 1000′s of words.
10/10 would recommend.
Terry would be proud.
This mindset also works for other things! Go to the gym with a plan to do the absolute minimum- five minutes run, three sets on the rowing machine- and by the time you’ve done those your mind goes ‘well, I don’t have to do any more, but now I’m here…’
