Numbers

I submitted another review this morning, and had one published as well. I  always try to submit one per day. I have several in process for books I have already finished reading as well as two or three books partially read. I may have found a good balance between the reviews I am working on and the books I am reading for review. I am up to 277 reviews on freshfiction.com, with three submitted but awaiting editing (or the right time to publish because of the book not yet being out.)
I feel I can't really set a firm numbered goal for reviews done each week since I don't want to miss that number by having a 'bad brain' day, but I consider anything three or above to be a decent out put. The reviews are between 250 and 400 words each (an average of 325 words) and three reviews would mean I write 975 words each week that I finish three reviews.  I am doing better since we moved. For example, I submitted a total of three reviews in May, four in June, ten (!) in July and seven in August. (I keep a spreadsheet tracking books from the moment they hit my door until I submit the review.) So far in September I have done seven and hope to get at least three more finished off by Sunday the 30th. I have hope October will be better (maybe at least twelve reviews total) since I will be writing on reviews six days a week.
The increase isn't all about the move, we also bought a new laptop for me that does not highlight and delete text willy-nilly (which I think was originally written 'will he or nil he'). The writing goes a lot faster now. At full speed I type from my head pretty quickly, but only if the words stay on the document! (On a whim I took an online typing test that clocked me at 55 wpm when I am copying a text. When I am just writing from my brain, I do about 75 wpm.)
A rule of thumb in fiction writing is that each page has about 250 words. That means on a decent week I write almost four pages of reviews (edited work.) I would guess my rough drafts run anywhere from a basic outline of 100 words to 500 words when I really get umm... verbose.
The lower-output writers I've been learning about often try for a page or two a day of unedited text. In the past when writing fiction, my unedited first swath tends to be pretty long-winded. I don't think it will be a problem to write at least one page, especially when I am just getting down my first thoughts. Later when I am actually tightening up the story and adding some plot work I imagine things may slow a bit.
Rather than shoot for specific numbers, I will keep my goal to try six out of seven days (with one day off for messing around and doing other stuff).
