I typically write 3000 words plus in a sitting. Whats that mean?
That you can type really fast. hehe

17 days in the hospital, major surgery where they removed the entire lower lobe of my right lung, and parts of the other two lobes. Still, I wrote 2001 words on my novel... so, is that having my priorities in order, or just insanity?

Note to self: Lack of coffee is no longer an acceptable excuse for an unproductive day.

I long-ago decided that when I stopped having fun doing anything that I'd stop doing it that same day.
Salis said:I can type very fast, but there's no way I can do 3,000 words in a sitting consistently. I envy that.

Is that bad, and should I be cutting instead of adding?
If only that worked for paying bills, filing taxes, and going to the dentist!
I think it all depends on how long the sitting is. If you forbid yourself to unsit until 3000 words are written, you'll find ways to make those words appear faster or you'll go crazy. Nobody said they had to be printworthy (that's what revision is for).
When editing a finished ms.
I keep saying as I read, I need to expand on this It should have more info.

Sheesh. I can do about 45-60 words a minute. Due to an injury when I was thirteen my right middle finger is unusable to type, so I never learned the correct way. But for me, the 17 days in the hospital, had it not been for the use of my brother's laptop I may have only gotten half the 3,500 words I did get. Though I may have ended up with more towards my novel. Longhand I might write faster, but my hand cramps up fast. Although, when I write longhand I think I tend to stay focused on one project more. It's so easy to have a little idea and open a new page, but then I know I'll have to retype it later. While I was in there I started two hospital-based short-stories. Wonder where I got the idea for those? Ha-halol fair enough. I'm not upset at my 140 wpm, 99% accuracy typing
