Posted by Reading Tribble (Pagemaster) in NaNoWriMo 2020 Daily word targets
To meet the 50,000 words by the end of November, the average words a day is 1667(actually 1666.6 recurring words a day, but as we’re writers, not scientists or mathematicians, we don’t care about decimals and round to 1667 :). Targets for each day are as follows

Of course, these are targets only, and assumes you are going for 50,000 words. There will be days you write lots and days you don’t write much (or anything). Just do what you are able, and remember, life happens, the power goes out, a freak accident results in your grand uncle Pedros having something sharp and pointy sticking out of his left big toe and you need to get him to ER (or wait with him until the ambulance arrives), things will happen, and you need to do what’s best for yourself. We’re here to cheer you on and commiserate with you. Either here on the forums or in the STF discord. Most of the regions have their own discord servers this year, the invites to them should be on the Nano website (as horrible as that site is).
