I am ready as in I know how much I need to write per day and how long it will take for me to write it, hopefully overestimated.

I based it on downloading 10k text of lorem ipsum and copy pasting it 5 times into word. I ended up with 90 pages of text (Times New Roman, if I recall correctly).

Ah, see, I did it by word count. I estimated I'll need to write 2,000 words a day, which I'm allowing four hours for, at somewhere under ten words a minute. This allows for days where I might falter, and is also (I hope) fairly overestimated.
