I am not a fast writer. It’s a heady combination of procrastination, overwhelm, a high degree of distractibility and the rampant urge to edit and make things “perfect” on my first go. But I am not a fast writer. Before kids, when I had long stretches of evening hours to write, I’d push to hit 1,000 words per writing session. But even then, I could only sustain that for a week or two, and then I’d need to step back and take a break.
