How to write an article in 6 days (day 5)

 Today, you might not make it to 5,000 words. Do something else in the morning; brood a bit about it. When you finally sit down at the computer, get about 333 words in the first hour. 

Now lunch!  Make sure you turn the tv on when eating.  Distract yourself. 

Now get the next third of your writing done. You are doing well.  It is only 1 p.m. and you have written 667 words. !!!

Now go to the coffee shop and write the remaining 333.  Go a little above 5,000 just for good measure.

Now you have one day left to write (most of) the article.  You won't have a complete version, but you will have 6,000 words that you can revise later. Things are taking shape. You have substantive material of about 10 pages.
