[Doc Faustus]

I just did a three day novel. First I read someone saying 1000 and I did 1000 for a bit, then I read Stephen King's on Writing, where he recommends three thousand. I'm with King. If people are into a videogame, they'll play it for four, five hours. It will be the duration of their leisure time, but if they're trying to write something they might just spend twenty, forty minutes on it. For a while I was way off track and only writing a thousand or so once a week, but I'm back on the wagon. Three thousand's the way to go, definitely. It's about two hour's work most of the time and when it's done you've really got ten more good pages.
