A Revision in Line with Reality

I’ve known this from past NaNoWriMos, but it takes me about two hours to get out 1,000 words, even if I’m writing steadily (and if I’m not doing word sprints). I have to ask myself, is it reasonable to expect two hours a day from myself for writing, assuming that the writing goes well? I’m not capable of doing two hours in a row on a normal working day (I’m in the States, and it’s Memorial Day today) even if all else is perfect and I’m practicing good self care. I’d have to break it up probably into two or four chunks of time.

So a revision in the plan: I’ll shoot for 500 words a day, and I’ll get this done in November. Hopefully the revision will go faster.
