Yes, that I agree with. Punching a keyboard until your computer dings at 2000 words is a waste of time. I do think a lot of people take that approach to Nano, and achieve vast daily wordcounts just for the sake of wordcounts, and at the end of the month have something completely unreadable.I guess what I&#039;m saying is that you should focus on getting the words down, by try your damnedest to make them the best you have. And then you can fix it later, but it&#039;s important not to worry about at the first draft. If you&#039;re doing your best and trying your hardest and sweating bullets over the first run, then chances are you&#039;ll have something in good shape that you can fix on the second, third, fourth drafts.That still might mean you need to delete 50% of what you slaved over, but only because you&#039;re replacing the good stuff with something better.
