Writing a book in one month

I love Fridays and today I want to try something I don’t do often enough, blog about writing. Before I start, congratulations are in order:

Drum roll please.........Leigh Ann, you won the swags and a copy of Betrayed in the Freedom to Read hop, so e-mail me you addresses.
Now back to writing. How many hours do you write a day?
Do you set aside hours/time to write?
Do you jump on where you left or revise what you’d written the last time.I write whenever I can and when not dropping off or picking up kids. Between 5 kids and a husband, I’m lucky if I write continuously for hours. But I want to try something different and this is why.I came across a fellow author’s blog and she wrote her book, 400 pages, in two weeks. Two freaking weeks? I was like, no way? That meant she wrote 28-29 pages a day. Since I am competitive and believe I can do anything if I put my mind to it, I have decided to try this.I plan to write a chapter a day on my present WIP. A chapter, for me, is about 16 pages (4000 words).
6 days a week (one day break) puts me at 24,000 words1 month at this pace totals 106,000 words.Since my target is 100,000 words (400pages), I should be okay, right?Hehehe.Lofty goal, right?I know, I know. I have to keep in mind this is summer and I have 5 kids to drive around and entertain. Still, I’m going to try.Have you ever had a goal like this? I tried Nano last year and actually made my goal of 50,000, so maybe, just maybe I might swing this.Wish me Luck!
Here's where I am today, Friday 6th
