Once, when I was much younger and more ambitious, and prior to developing the constant internal editor, I parked myself in a coffee shop and wrote 3000 words in about thirteen hours, with a pencil. There was a notch in my finger when I was through and I was unable to focus on much more than tying my shoes for a couple of days.
Now, 2400 words in thirteen hours on a keyboard is so far beyond me, I grit my teeth in despair.
