Mind you, we weren't expected to produce 50,000 words.<BR/>I've just finished Stephen King's "On Writing" and he calls the first stage 'writing with the door closed' - where you're writing just for yourself without your internal self editor worrying about what other people will think.

Still, a bit extreme!<BR/><BR/>Let's be fair - I wrote the first draft of a 17k word story over a week (which I'm still tyoing up and untangling). Nowhere near a nano novel.
