My daily quota is 5k words. This weekend, I wrote 5k more. 3k more Saturday and 2k more Sunday. What is your quota? I already finished writing for today, and I am eight days away from finishing my newest novel. 100k words + maybe 1k or 3k more is a good length, right?

Depends on how much I get annoyed

Just stay consistent and give enough space between chapters to read and edit

None. Ai-chan has accepted that Ai-chan is too busy to write regularly and does not put unrealistic expectations on the self. Though Ai-chan does try to write at least 200 words a day, if time and situation allows.

I see a Filipino reference, I like.

Joking aside, I only implement the quota once I'm in 'writing' mode. In normal days, I don't even touch a notebook.

My quota is a chapter per day. My chapter doesn't fall short of 4k words, unless it's a side/prologue/epilogue ones.
Keep up the good work. 4k means a done book in 25 days. That is nothing to sneeze at.

True, my target is usually 60k and up words per volume of my work, which--once I get to my 'writing mode'--I finish within 3-4 weeks time, including the three editions.

The only exception is now, on my 12th volume, which was started in February, and I'm still not yet finished as of today. I was too busy volunteering in our elections, I nearly forgot to write.

Don’t really have a quota, but when I get fired up, I usually write a chapter a day which is around 1,500 to 4,000 words—depending on the chapter. I’m trying to write more nowadays, and I’m glad to announce that, well… I’m still trying. So, that’s that.

There is no daily quota to me.
I did have weekly quota though about 3-4k words and written at the end of the week.

200 a day has worked so far for me. I started anew a little over 1.5years ago and sit at 76500words now. Moreover, I think that the text is like 75% done by now. The real problem is that around 80% of it is unedited as hell. And editing usually takes much more energy and time than basic writing.
I also don't follow my quota when I grind MMOs xD. Like I can literally write 0words in half a year then. But other than that, I think that finishing a novel in 2-3years is a realistic goal in my case. The real question of what's next remains though.

With me doing the art? Nah, I got no assistant. I tried making a manga (Paulina Rex), but the demands are too much for me...and my eyes are not that healthy anymore.
