500 words a day

To help motivate myself into doing more writing I thought I would set myself a daily word count target so I could hopefully get into a habit of writing more.

I am setting myself a target of 500 words a day but this might be a bit too ambitious and I may need to round this down to 300 hundreds.  I hoping the act of monitoring and logging down my daily words written will also help with the motivation

The theory sounds good but I will have to see how it goes in practise

when I told my wife of my daily word goal, she gave me a look which said she wasn't convinced about this.
