I've never heard the low hundred thousand words figure before. I've only ever seen the million words figure. I agree NaNoWriMo can be useful, so can frequent blogging about whatever's on your mind.


I'm probably wrong about the figures; mostly I find it interesting that these different crafts praise different virtues. I'm very happy to render swathes of code useless and kill those lines, but the writers are on to something when praising effort. Productivity is harder to measure for programmers, but the insight still works.
