1,000 words per day of consistent production is pretty damn good.  That's the
first draft of a typical novel in 2-3 months.  Obviously, the operative word
is consistent.

Getting out 20,000 words per month is good for almost anybody except Asimov.

And finding some means of "buying" time to work on fiction is a problem for
most writers not to the manor (or manna) born.
