So here's my plan. Starting in December, I'm going to set a monthly writing goal for each month, no less than 30,000 words. That's a minimum of 1k a day (give or take). If I meet the goal, I buy myself a James Bond movie on Blu-Ray.
That will keep me going for 22 months (or 23, depending on how you count). It appeals to the collector in me, and gives me a tangible goal to work towards, more than simple word count.
As far as how I calculate the goal, that will depend. Chances are, I'll leave weekends and any special/travel days blank, and distribute the 30k among the rest. If my schedule looks too light, I might up the requirement by 5k or so. The point is not really to challenge myself with a high word count, but rather to challenge myself to continue writing consistently.
