100 Words at a Time

That's how I write. For a while now, I've had enough stories or pieces of stories going at once that in order to keep them all moving, I've gone to writing each of them 100 words at a time. I'm very lucky that I can fragment my attention that way, jumping from story-world to story-world and picking up where I left off fairly seamlessly. I keep thinking I should fix that habit and start writing in larger chunks, but the thing is that the short bites works - the stories get written, and each one makes fairly regular progress. And as long as that remains true, there's very little incentive - or  reason, really - to change the process.
