The goal is a hundred words a day, roughly one decent-sized paragraph. And I'm not actually bothering to use a word count feature, so I'm eyeballing it. But the rule is this: once something get's written, I hit the publish button. I need, I suppose, some sort of creative outlet, some means of self expression, but the even the thought of editing is stymieing me and nothing gets written. So I can revisit -- copy and paste into a new post and touch up later -- but once the words hit the page, once they've been given a brief once-over, they get published.
I will probably regret this decision later. I blanch at the thought of allowing other people to read bad prose, and when I revisit something I've written and find errors or poor sentence structure or bad flow, my embarrassment borders on shame. But a hundred words a day seems like a manageable minimum threshold.
