I'm Going Bridget Jones on You
No, I’m not going to regale you with tales about my inability to choose between the stable family man-type or the insensitive rake. But I am going to use my blog to hold myself accountable for my word count. I haven’t decided whether I’m going to go with publisher word counts or word processor word counts as a general rule (I will be consistent, though, once I make the final decision), but I will be posting my word count here weekly as a means of making myself accountable for my goals.
I ended 2008 with a respectable 10,000 words (word processor count). But I’ve added few words through the month of January, and I’ve decided that beating myself up about it is not helping me get more words written. Instead, I’m going to unapologetically give you my word count once a week. I want 3,500 words written each week, and you’ll know whether I hit that.
I’m not going to spend post after post telling you why I haven’t hit my count or why I have (well, maybe a little–self-reflection is a goal here). I’m just going to keep a running word count in my sidebar for all to see. The little gadget is courtesy of Writertopia.
