For some reason, I always measure my progress by word count. I’ll check it while I’m writing, after I’ve finished for the day, and even while I’m revising. It’s an awful little obsession of mine and I have to wonder if it’s procrastination tic. Obviously I only do it when I’m paused in progress.

Barbara: That’s a good way to look at it — accomplish the challenge. So, that might be to sharpen dialogue in this scene, or maybe to up the tension. Things like that?

I feel that I’ve accomplished whatever the challenge of that session
is. I guess that could work out to be a time span or finishing a chapter, but that’s not quite right for me.
