"It depends a <b>lot</b> on the work environment.  I made it clear in my interview that it was important to me to be able to use that hour for my writing, and my boss was cool with it.  I still needed to make up a sign to post so that I could train the coworkers to leave me alone for that time.\r\n\r\nRe: the word count, one of the things I found is that when I only have a limited time to write, it helps me to get started faster.  There's a tendency to stall and stumble over the first sentences/paragraphs of the day.  But when I know you have to shut everything down again at 1:00, it helps me push through that."
