The power of daily word count goals

Consistent writing builds momentum. Stephen King writes 2,000 words per day. Anthony Trollope wrote 250 words every 15 minutes. The specific number matters less than the consistency. Start with a goal you can hit every day, then increase gradually.

Common daily writing goals

Casual journaling: 250–500 words. Blog content: 500–1,000 words. Professional writers: 1,000–2,000 words. NaNoWriMo pace: 1,667 words per day. Academic researchers: 500–750 words of original content.

Hit your word count faster with dictation

At 40 WPM typing, a 1,000-word goal takes 25 minutes of pure writing time. At 150 WPM dictation speed, the same goal takes under 7 minutes. LexaWrite makes it effortless - hold Fn, speak naturally, release. Your words appear instantly in any app.
