In my writing practice, I aim for 250 words each day. That doesn’t sound like a lot, and it isn’t. I can hit 250 words every day, but something else happens that feels like magic—most days, I shoot right past that word count. I might write 350, 500, 750, or even 1000 words in a day! Other days, I might only be able to wrestle 250 words onto the page before I’m ready to put the work away and try again tomorrow. But the words you write gather into sentences that make paragraphs that create whole scenes that eventually get you to “THE END” of your project. In this way, setting the bar low can get you to where you want to be. -from How to Form a Daily Writing Habit
