(And I totally agree that 10K days are very... absorbed. As in, I'm absorbed in what I'm doing and don't notice quite a few things.)
Mmmm... I think that that makes sense, as silly as it seems at first blush for someone to constantly hold themselves up to their best work day and say (to themselves) that it should be their average work day. Except maybe it's not hatred for not producing more (Anita doesn't rant about it, after all,) so much as guilt for not working harder/producing more.
Although, to be honest, she could benefit from taking advantage of her actual/slower pace to write in small chunks and then working to hone that bit before moving onto the next bit. I've no doubt that she types frantically at her books some days, but it's more like spinning her wheels (and getting her plot stuck in the mud) rather than getting anywhere. And, since she has to know that she's not going to edit later, she really needs to edit as she goes along.
