addendum to the tiny writing update
Feb. 6th, 2019 10:57 pmMy total word count on "Guardian" ch. 17, by date:
1/26/16 - 125 words
2/10/16 - 250 words
2/20/16 - 700 words
2/21/16 - 900 words
2/22/16 - 1,225 words
2/23/16 - 1,325 words
2/26/16 - 1,525 words
4/11/16 - 1,850 words
4/23/16 - 2,075 words
10/3/18 - 2,375 words
2/5/19 - 3,125 words
2/6/19 - 3,375 words
As you can see, the first scene went pretty easily, despite my general lack of time during tax season. I got interrupted by life halfway through the second scene but finished it fairly easily as well... and then I stalled out for over two years, partially because fight scenes are a pain but mostly because depression and then college. *hands* But I am hopefully back on track now.
I don't keep writing progress reports-by-date on most of my stories, but when a particular story or chapter is being annoying and I want to remind myself of when I last worked on it, they can be useful. Also I just kind of want to brandish this at the universe and say, "See? You can delay me, but you can't make me stop!"
(To give you a scale to judge my glacial progress, I aim for 4,000 to 4,500 words per chapter. *wry* Also, all word counts are approximations, both because I am guessing at how much extraneous stuff MS Word miscounts as "words" and because I round to the nearest multiple of 25.)
