Oh, I still read my flist most days. I'm posted unlocked with the same username on dreamwidth if you want to catch up with me. (I know! Unlocked! I'm experimenting with trusting again, which will last until the frist crazy-incident.) ~smooches back~
That sounds fine to me. Maybe too long, for sustaining momentum? If I'm not working, I write 1000 words a day, every single day. Allowing for distractions, migraines, outside commitments and so on, that gives me 300 000 words of finished material in a year, which is a professional writer's workload (of anyone is interested).
If you want a point of comparison, ladnews (that's Sean Williams) publishes about 300 000 words a year. Last year, he wrote a 100 000 word book in a month when the deadline was moved on him. Harlequin expects four to six 50 000 words novels a year from their writers.
