Bonus post: Metrics, continued
Just a quick refresh on the metrics charts. I haven’t copied up the total word count graph yet but this weekend was a nice solid uptick. There you go.

Day 53. 106,695 words. Out of town and out of range again today, so here’s my latest set of metrics. Overflow on story 1, under-count on story 2, and story 3 not yet finished (but I’ve made an excellent start … Continue reading

Day 33. 254 pages, 117,469 words. …okay, I didn’t stop to think through that today is Thursday already. Plus today I have to stop writing early to take the bus to work, because Mrs. Hatboy needs the car. Oh well. … Continue reading

Day 22. 202 pages, 94,541 words. Not a bad run of writing. I still have two chapters left in Part Two, but they can be pretty short and I’ll see if I get any more done this afternoon and this … Continue reading
Argh Thursday
Day 12. 160 pages, 72,665 words. Well this week happened fast. Ropecon approaches. In the meantime, I’m just going to leave this here. Not sure what’s happened, really. Oh well, back to work. I got my last paycheque from Lionbridge … Continue reading
Argh Tuesday
Day 10. 141 pages, 63,858 words. Nothing much to add today. I finally took the step of whopping all my Final Fall of Man books together into one PDF, to make it easier to search for references and plot points. … Continue reading
