The rule for me is that I only need to add 300 new words a day. This way I'm not so daunted by my goal that I just give up and don't try.
I've also made a rule where I can only work on the second half of the story until Jan. 27 to try to keep myself from going back over the same few early scenes that are already in pretty good shape over and over. I bounce around a lot, but only within that latter half.
