Setting writing goals

OK, so I have been thinking about setting steady writing goals. I usually just fit it in wherever, but that often has spotty results that I'm not happy with. I'm thinking that if i just do 2 single space pages per day, that means I'll have a book written out in 3 months. Then another 2-3 to polish and voila! So that's the plan.

Biggest challenge is that I work all day at my day job, which requires me to think, then the last thing I want to do when I go home at night is think some more. So I've settled into a plan - I go home, eat dinner, take a 20 minute nap, drink 1/2 cup of caffeine, then write. That seems to work the best to give my body and brain a refresh.

No, I don't have kids. I don't know how ya'll with kids do it all!
