Whether you are measuring by word, by page, or by scene, have a target in mind before you start so you can track your progress and build confidence.
At first, it may feel like you do more sitting than active writing at your desk, so consider setting a goal for each writing session. Maybe you are working on a novel and you want to write 1,000 words per day. Or you want to finish a new poem for your poetry collection or two pages of dialogue for a short story. Whether you are measuring by word, by page, or by scene, have a target in mind before you start so you can track your progress and build confidence.
