I know that when I charted my progress last year, I observed that when I had a really good writing streak, I usually followed it up with a couple 232-word days. This year, because I'm generally holding myself to lower word counts, I find myself able to manage a steadier pace.

I've learned that it's good to try to write every day ... but if I reach the 232nd word and am exhausted and can't write anymore, I don't push it. I'll only end up rewriting what I force out.

Which I suppose is against the purpose of NaNo, but I'm a lazy reviser. I'll admit it. ;)
