http://myresearchspace.grs.uwa.edu.au/blogs/sannas_blog/archive/2008/10/08/i-wrote-almost-2000-words-today-happy-dance.aspxIt all started with me first being able to squeeze out a hundred words or so yesterday. I'm starting a new chapter so it's all weird and scary at the moment and I have no real structure to work with yet. As I agonised with the lack of existing structure,enCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://myresearchspace.grs.uwa.edu.au/blogs/sannas_blog/archive/2008/10/08/i-wrote-almost-2000-words-today-happy-dance.aspx#23929Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:57:34 GMT8a7e208b-72ee-48b9-aab7-de231d5a09bf:23929robyn.owens<p>Well done! Now you've set the pace it will be good to see if someone else can top the 1000-word mark. The key trick is to &quot;turn off the interruptions&quot;. Since that may seem painful, it's good to promise yourself a treat afterwards if you reach your set goal. It's no different to the gym - if you jog 5kms one day, try to at least reach the same goal the next. Then work at pushing your boundaries. Happy writing!</p> http://myresearchspace.grs.uwa.edu.au/blogs/sannas_blog/archive/2008/10/08/i-wrote-almost-2000-words-today-happy-dance.aspx#23935Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:50:59 GMT8a7e208b-72ee-48b9-aab7-de231d5a09bf:23935Sanna<p>Thanks! So far I've been able to stick to the 1000/day rule, even if I feel I'm staring to drain my resources a bit... Still, I'm enjoying *not* fearing my thesis for the time being. :-)</p>
