Am I being obsessive about my novel?

Hey, so I was thinking that maybe I'm writing too much each day. Lately I've been writing 25+ pages a day. Is that normal or is it too much? My book is going to be very long-around 525 pages. Should I spread the time for writing out more or am I good now? I'm just wondering, because at this rate I will be done writing my book less than three weeks from now! That's just nuts!
I don't think this will matter to you, but I'm a sixteen year old aspiring author. I guess I write so much, because I'm so into the new world I created.
 
You are on a writing streak... my advice is to milk it as long as you can! You never know when it will end and you will be stuck with writers block where your lucky to get a page a day.
 
I don't think thats TOO bad, its pretty normal, I mean you may want to spend SOME time doing something else, but you don't have to, just the thing is, if you're going to be staying in your room, or wherever it is you're are writing our story, and I'm guessing your typing it up, so spending hours on the computer isn't THAT healthy, so maybe you should do more things too. Also, don't stay up too late. I also love writing, and one day, I started writing a novel (for fun) just to show to my friends, maybe e-mail it to a teacher if I ever DO finish, and I ended up staying up til 4am....not good. So just limit your time writing your novel, and I understand what you mean and how you feel. Just try to limit your time, make sure to do other things, but continue writing your novel! But also, make sure its not too rushed! Just pace yourself :)
Hopefully I helped a little, I don't think you're being TOO obsessive and I think its awesome how you're writing a novel:)
