I got a new personal best today. 1,000 words in 56 minutes. I didn't even feel like writing today! (As if that matters; I will write every day, like it or not, at a minimum until this WIP is done.)
That supreme speed is probably because I got to the scene which inspired me to write this book in the first place. Had a lot of fun writing it, and it turned out even better than I envisioned in my head, perhaps a year and change ago.
I might write more later just because the writing bug is clearly with me today.

I have a setting I worldbuilt on and off for a little over two years. It's expansive enough that I have enough prompts for the rest of my life. My current WIP stems from a footnote in a document I had listing in-world historical events.

Good stuff. I've found what matters most is consistency.
