Found out that most authors only write 500 words per day on average
I read this in a survey of writers last night and it made me feel way better about my own slow pace, what's your daily word count goal?

Heard a podcast with Stephen King where he said he writes like 2000 words a day, but then I looked it up and even he takes months to finish a draft. The survey thing tracks with what I've seen online too, like some famous authors only do a page or two and call it good. Makes me feel way less pressure when I'm stuck at 400 words on a bad day, lol.

400 words is basically a short story if you're counting every um and ah.
