Intense

I've finished writing for the day feeling very smug to have hit 10,000 words. Twenty percent of the way there!

Writing this much this fast is strange. I'm working in the mornings and chipping away at targets: 300 words until I've hit the 1667 or 450 until I've managed 2000 for the day and so forth. This seems very effective in keeping me typing, but the resulting prose is very rough - certainly lots of polishing needed to get it up even to a first draft quality.

But that can all happen later. Right now I'm enjoying the intensity of a writing marathon comprised of lots of little sprints whilst also desperately trying to keep hold of my story by my fingernails.
