I have commenced reading The Shining to re-familiarize myself and get into the proper mood heading into Dr. Sleep.

And he says he writes 2000 words a day no matter what....
I started off the year with the goal of writing 1000 a day and while I have exceeded that on a few occasions, but average is more aroudn 3-400/day It might help if I were working on longer things -- novels or books but most of what I work is shorter pieces... |

His story is one of rags to riches. As I understand it he didn't even have a working phone in his house when he got the 1st big advance on 'Carrie' in the late 70's.

He discusses this in "On Writing" but indicates there it was a phone call....of course he was drunk at the time, so who knows.
