However, the reality is if you read through my entries for my journey to become an author, you'll find I had several periods of time where I suffered from that dreaded condition which all writers face of writers block. And on a very few occasions I wrote close to 2,000 words and more. Do not set a DEFINITIVE number of words to write each day; if you do you'll, and I can tell by your question , you'll get discouraged. Whatever you write is fine. You're making progress each day until you're able to type that elusive final period.<br />Once this is done, you'll have several re-reads and edits to do, you'll need to get your manuscript edited, which is follwed by more re-reads until you're totally satisfied with what you have.<br />I hope my response has proven to be helpful and has set your mind at ease.<br /><br />Robin Leigh Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10039479316999317747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922541934744191820.post-77443488161468938382013-02-08T17:15:18.881-08:002013-02-08T17:15:18.881-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Robin Leigh Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10039479316999317747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922541934744191820.post-36205390503593251502013-02-08T16:32:41.533-08:002013-02-08T16:32:41.533-08:00I have a random questions for you, if you don'...I have a random questions for you, if you don't mind. I am currently writing my first novel and have averaging about 1000 words each day I write. <br /><br />My problem is I feel like I can write more, yet it seems my brain goes to mush after about a thousand words. Is that common and how do I get over it? It is really hindering my progress.<br /><br />thedaughterofasclepius.blogspot.comCodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924224271069018776noreply@blogger.com
