Midweek Reflections on my word count goal and the New Year

I think I'll have to change my word count goal in 2014. Right now, the goal is 2,000 words a day and I'm having a tough time making it. I'm not completely sure what is causing the problem, so I'll have to look at the way and times I'm writing over the next couple of week.

Since I don't want to scrap the 2,000 words completely, I think I'll change to goal to a range of word. I'm considering making the word count goal between 1,5000 and 2,000 words per day because I know I can make the 1,500 word goal. The 2,000 is a stretch, which is why I made it in the first place; however, I'm encountering stress when I don't make the goal.

Writing and stress don't work well together. A little bit of stress is alright, but I've felt a lot of stress over the past week or so. I think part of the stress is coming from not making the goal on a consistent basis. Of course, there are other things in my life that causes stress. I've been under a lot of stress for the past year and I'm tired of it.I'll try the range of goals when I reset the goal on Sunday. If I exceed or make the 2,000 words everyday until January 1, 2014 then I will continue the 2,000 word goal next year.
