One of the most important things is setting a realistic pace that is productive, motivating and sustainable.
Right now a pace has been set that is extremely productive. Pages are rolling out and edits are being made in good time. What’s crucial is keeping this pace and staying productive. Writing just a few times a week isn’t going to exercise the mind and train the creative animal adequately. Stick to the goal: write everyday. And stay productive.
Getting this amount done and seeing a tangible product of your efforts is nothing short of motivating. In fact, you will feel so good about what you’ve achieved that you will be inspired to do even more!
Finally, writing 50 pages of dialog a day is an exceptional pace, but it’s also an unrealistic benchmark. You will have great days, where the words flow like wine on a Friday night. Other days, you will beat your head against a wall to find the one breath of dialog that holds the scene together. That is why you set an achievable, productive and totally sustainable goal. Avoid disappointment by treating yourself like a human being, not a machine.
