it depends on the day, my mood, and my inspo level for me, i’ve had days where I could barley write 20 words and days i’ve gone crazy and written close to 1000 bc I got locked in on it

A little bit at a time goes a long way! I also struggle to get more than 200 words down at a time, so I’ve made a habit of doing a little writing every night before bed. Even if I don’t end up doing much or I skip one day, all that work adds up by the end of the week. Just go at your own pace and don’t give up!
