The desire to write anything and everything toward the progress of my next book has taken ahold of me.

I’ve already exceeded my target daily word count of 500 and I want to keep writing but I don’t want to exhaust the source for the days in the future. My concern is that it would be wise to get the words out now so I don’t forget them later, but I don’t want the fevered pace to adversely affect the end result.

A marathon is still a race, after all. But as with all tasks that take a toll over the duration, it is best to pace yourself.
