When working on the first draft of a long project, I do well with word count goals. I choose the date by which I want to have a completed manuscript, and I break that down into a word target for each day. I want to finish this draft by June, so I have been writing 500 words a day since the beginning of January. A purple progress bar tells me where I’m at, and how far I have to go.
