Lucy Taylor:
Do you aim for any quota of words per day? How many drafts do you write?
Lucy Taylor
For both questions, it depends. If I'm at the writing stage of a project, I try to do a thousand words a day (about four pages), but often I'm still in the planning, let's-see-if-this-works stage. As far as drafts, sometimes three or four, sometimes more. I'm always revising as I go along, making changes, trying a new ending or a different pov. That's the thing about writing, it's constant choices, endless little decisions that, one hopes, will add up to something that works.
