I love that even in a hard week, there were moments of synchronicity in the workshop.
How did you come up with your Daily Quota? I've heard a writing teacher say to imagine what you can get done in a week, and then aim for 1/3 of that. So your 900+ is super close! My writing is wonky because I've been doing work related to an upcoming book instead of creative work. I want to write every day for the rest of the month though.
The Daily Quota is based off of Cameron's "two pages of prose a day," although she doesn't specify typed or handwritten. In the chapter this week, she writes about keeping the bar super low. I need to lower the bar for myself! I might make it 300 words a day and see what happens.
I don't know Patricia Zaballos' work but I'm going to check it out!

I wonder if you know Patricia Zaballos' work on dictation + kids writing? http://patriciazaballos.com/the-dictation-project/
