So, I've been working on upping my word count, and holy moly, is it harder than I thought. I'm averaging about 200 words per every five minutes, but I constantly find myself stopping to think, revise, and plan.
Granted, it has been a lot easier since I actually diagrammed my rising action and all of the key action points.
But oh my, trying for 5,000 words in an hour... My autoimmune brain is getting its exercise, that's for sure.
