what? better than mailer?

i heard on the radio yesterday that normal mailer, whose works i have never read, would write 1500 words per day.

to make my target of 50k words this month, i need to average 1666 words per day. i'm supposed to do better than mailer?

i've begun setting myself a 30 minute timer. i find that in 30 minutes, with good flow, nonstop, i can bang out 1k words of horrific crap. if i'm still going at 00:00:00, i continue until the flow stops. i managed 1600 today.

hooray, i beat norm.
