I tend to have goals with my writing, but they're not centered on word counts. I tend to think in scenes and chapters, so when I finish one, I feel like I've reached a goal. And sometimes one with a lot of words will fly out, and other times it might take days to get one hashed out, even if it's just a couple thousand words. I have one I've been struggling with for a while that's like pulling teeth.
Focusing on word count makes little sense for me. Until a scene is finished, any words can (and probably will) be written and deleted an re-written over and over again.
