My friends, this is bothering me. What is a good word count for a day of writing? Do you sit down with a lot of ideas, put down a few hundred high-quality words, and walk away? Or, stare at the blinking line, and try to write a lot of words with the attitude that it will come out in the edit?
I ask because I have stories that just leak from me as 2,000 easy words or stories (the same number of words) that are worse than pulling teeth.
Do you have any tips to pass on? I love writing but the best ideas seem to take the longest, the most editing, and are mentally difficult.
