| Re: The chronicles word counter! With my typing speed, there's no way I'm going to reach a thousand words a day. Two hundred, I'm happy. Five hundred, very. So, my dragon thing (provisionally "Mutually assured digestion" from it's recipe-book origins) is standing at 20,550 words (plus the recepies, but they're in another document, and I'm not certain I can integrate them in the present treatment) It lacks a lot of connective tissue – for once, instead of starting with a skeleton and fleshing it out, I've started with the internal organs and muscles and added skin and bones as required- and I've got a couple of major battles that I keep putting off – but it's coming together. S'pose I'm going to have to find someone to read it. |

| Re: The chronicles word counter! Okay, since my last projects are somewhat finished, I have started a new one : Novel:'the tower' Genre: high fantasy word count: 2004 words Status: active((nudge status: 1000 words a day), I'm safe till Monday morning GMT time) I think it is best that we should set a deadline for ourself like: "If I haven't updated my word count at that moment (in my case monday morning), then start bugging me." That way we don't have to calculate before we can start bugging. |

Novel: Untitled Genre: Fantasy (Epic/Dynastical) Word Count: 11 270 Status: Active Doesn't look like progress, I know, but I cut and rewrote a large chunk from the beginning that was holding me back. Some seven hundred and fifty words this morn, and I'm done with that bit, so onwards and upwards from here, with any luck. | |

| Re: The chronicles word counter! What are we supposed to do; give a continuous update if we're happy with progress and sort of pretend we've forgotten when we drop behind (or hope that one's success inspires the others with competitive jealousy? I'm pretty happy with 22,489. |

Word count: 56,892! OK, I've only done a little editing. But I have a huge section that I wrote by hand that needs copying up onto the laptop. I'll try and do that soon... | |
