When I sit to write, sometimes I write as many as five thousand words at a time, and a complete chapter or more. I don't really put a limit or a minimum goal on myself for each sitting, but I can be satisfied with at least one thousand words. Because if you look at it this way, that would be 90 days or sittings for a 90,000 word manuscript.
But life is full of distractions, and sometimes I can't even achieve that. But usually I do which means my WIP, John Dunn will be done in about a month. Whatever the amount is, the bottom line is to keep going, and don't get away from it. If you lose sight of your story, then that means you're not excited about it, and how can you expect readers to be if you're not? That's all.
