Setting a goal of 1/2 an hour a day just wouldn't work for me, but I find a word count does. (Sometimes)Right now I'm on my summer 'writing retreat' (at my sister's house) and I write for 12 to 14 hours a day. Once school starts again (I'm a teacher) that will al change. What ever works - just keep on pounding those keys!Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-7610986237184878382010-08-09T06:08:10.591-05:002010-08-09T06:08:10.591-05:00Good post, Lorna!
