>2k words a day is a lot (unless you're just churning out artless shit). Many professional authors do under 1k per day.
I believe saying such things to people only hurts them. Write that much at first, but as you go on and acquire experience and know-how, you should be able to do several thousands a day. Pirateaba manages to do even 20k on some days, and her fiction The Wandering Inn is considred one of the best webnovels on the internet.
Is it peak fiction? I don't think so, but it's one of the best I've ever seen, both on the internet and in published stuff, even if it's not exactly to my tastes. But the author writes around 2.5k words an hour, and she even fucking streams it so you know it's just her. Even if she's some insane prodigy of writing, it's reasonable to believe that a mortal able-minded person should be able to do half of that at the very least.

You guys put the bar too low while you should be reaching as high as you can, and only then adapt to what you can grasp. Grow some fucking spine.
