I mentioned this on one of the NaNoWrimo groups about how I plan to do counting for my novels, but decided to extend this even further. To demonstrate, I have pictures. Pictures are the awesome.
This is my day-planner for tracking writing.
Nice and easy to put stickers/notes in.
Then I picked up some sparkly shiny stickers. But instead of just one type of stickers, I got two types – stars and spearmints (see below). What I plan to do is track not only work on my novel (and subsequently NaNo) with the sparkly stickers (on sticker is 1,000 words) but I also plan to track everything I write, like these blog posts and the other blog posts I got behind on the last couple of weeks and anything and everything else I write to see just how many words a day I churn out. I realize I write way more than I write fiction and I think it’s only fair to track everything. However, the stickers for the non-novel will be the spearmint shaped ones with small stickers being 1,000 words, big stickers being 5,000 words. That will give me a better idea of how much I write all the time instead of just occassionally. The book goes through July of next year, so it will be interesting to see where things lie by then.
Oh! And if you want to follow me
Now, off to write and perhaps get some word count for Nano in tonight.
