What is a good breakpoint of words per day to write? I've

Just do whatever works for you. Some writers (Anthony Burgess and John Banville for example) write only a page or two a day because they're just very meticulous.

The more often you do something, the better you become at it. Continue writing about what you want to write about--speed, words, and the ability to think through a scene will come more naturally to you over time.

Remember this: the number of words you put on paper is inconsequential to their quality. What words would you like to be remember for, for having written?

Burgess wrote 2000 words a day.

I admit I don't know where I got the "page or two a day thing," but I did go back to his Paris review and found this:

>BURGESS
>I don’t write drafts. I do page one many, many times and move on to page two. I pile up sheet after sheet, each in its final state, and at length I have a novel that doesn’t—in my view—need any revision.

So he may write a lot, but only to revise a page and get that one completely done before moving on.

What is/are the source?

>>9686660
It's from a book called "Guide to Troubled Birds"

>>9683439
1000 is quite a lot. It really varies from author to author though. Papa Hemingway set a goal of 500 words a day (he said), then you have Stephen King who claims to write ten pages a day (not with a 72 font size, I presume). I think it's important to write every day, then the word count depends on how you feel, writing while you're mentally exhausted and do not want to be there anymore tends to produce bad writing.

1-2k a day is what most professional authors (who are actually good) do.
