First progress report

[pegkerr]

I'll do this periodically:

Word total: 500
Words written today: 100

(Only, say, about 99,500 to go).

Cheers,
Peg

Do you do this too? I keep a record of my progress in words every day. I enter all the data into Excel, and have a chart that shows progress against my goal.

Right now--and I mean RIGHT now--I'm at 76,842 words, having added 215 today.

There are days when the count goes down, if I delete a section. (In the beginning I hated those days. Now that I am editing, I like them.)

Oooh, me too. Especially in the early stages I would also calculate percentages against predicted length.

Congratulations, Peg. Genius girl!

Me, too -- I have an Excel spreadsheet that tracks my word output... For me, it's a goad to keep me working steadily -- I HATE to see the line on the graph drop below me average...

But I'd rather have a hundred good words a thousand lousy ones...

But in the beginning, when making my quota mattered, I much preferred a thousand lousy words. Then I hit 60,000 words, and reversed myself. These days I prefer -1000 lousy words.
