To try to get myself really working, I've told myself I need to get 1000 words out a story a day (working on about three stories a day since anything more than that is too much pressure). It doesn't matter if it's the worst thing ever, if it's not in chronological order, whatever it is. I have to do 1000 words. It's working remarkably.
