I loved his book but thought 2000 was a bit much.

Stephen King does 2000 (which I think is insane) but I settled on 1250 when I first started keeping track of words, which is roughly five pages. What I found happened was that I'd get to like 3 and a half pages and be stuck and want to quit, but I'd push through, and that would end up being the key to everything--and enough to give me something to work with the next day. Of course, I've read about writers who write one page a day and that works for them. End of the year you have a novel.

It's the only book of his I've ever been able to read because his others frighten me too much;)<br />Thanks for the luck!Karrie Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749897003460477702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330766246822130643.post-758257213337681052012-10-10T07:49:58.370-04:002012-10-10T07:49:58.370-04:00Karrie, I remember!

We can trade info there) And good luck with your writing. Carolyn See is hilarious but also really helpful. And have you read Stephen King's On Writing? (whether you like his books or not, his ideas on craft are very helpful too).Jody Casellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892174349776047862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3330766246822130643.post-55656021014698808352012-10-09T22:17:11.573-04:002012-10-09T22:17:11.573-04:00That should read not *13* like I said before.
