A Goodreads user asked Steven James:

Do you have a daily word count that you try to reach every day?

Steven James I don't work in terms of word count but rather keep track of the number of hours that I work. So I might set a goal of five hours or ten or whatever, and then I use a stopwatch to keep track. This way, I feel like I'm making progress. If I go by word count though, sometimes I delete more words than I add.
