I am so glad that I have made the effort to keep ahead of my word goal. Tomorrow I may not have time to write much, so knowing that I have already exceeded my word goal for tomorrow takes the pressure off a bit.

I have found that turning the screen off and just typing is very helpful. It means that someone as nit-picky at me can't correct every spelling error as I go. That increases my speed somewhat.

I've also been working out my average words per minute about every 15 minutes, and trying to beat my previous wpm each time. Excellent.

My other incentive is that for every 100 words I write I give myself one sweet. The last half hour of writing brought the reward of 9 sweets. Yum!
