One of my favorite writers, the late Robert B. Parker, from whose work I shamelessly crib, said that he wrote five pages a day. I don't have the discipline, nor the time, to write every day. And, once I start tapping keys, I don't have the self-control to stop at a specific spot.
Still, I found it interesting. Five pages isn't very much. A couple of months at that pace would result in a 300-page novel.
But I bet the relatively leisurely pace allowed him time to self-edit, to develop, to polish.
Hmm … mayhaps I should rethink my composition habits. Of course there's always that elusive talent thing.
