Works very well for me, thank you. I keep in mind the end that I want to see, therefore I know where I am heading, just that the path in between in murky and wonky at the best.

Shingetsu, two thousand words is fine, try to achieve that as many times as it is possible. With that amount of the words, you are done with the first draft in fifty days. Month and half doesn't sound so bad, does it?
