I came into this 5 days late, because I did not hear about this until then. I do not work but have had a busy month with lots of traveling, and keeping up with Christmas things (mine will be on Thanksgiving this year instead if December). I do like you said and set a goal. Since I was 5 days behind, my word count goal is 2,000 words a day (which is a lot for me) but I have been making my personal goal 2,500 to 3,000 per day in order to catch up to everyone else. I had a really rough day yesterday, only getting to 900 words before blanking out, I then put it down then came back to it later and unexpectedly cranked out a total of 3,000 words, something I seriously never thought I would accomplish yesterday. Sometimes you just have to walk away for a while, other times you just have to force yourself to throw words on the page.
