Several months on Dreamwidth and I still don't know what I wanna use this account for.

Either way, I'll try to document my writing progress here as I took part in [community profile] getyourwordsout with the lowest possible word count tier of 75k words a year!

Considering I have written approximately 400k words in six years this felt like a challenge that I might actually be able to complete.

In January I felt a zest for life that I haven't in a long time. I have spent upwards of half an hour every day writing, usually more, way more, sans for two days at the beginning, the third and the fourth of January.
I hope to not repeat that mistake as that has costed me at least a hundred if not a thousand words /hj

Having said all that, here are the stats.

A circle graph showing 23% written and 77% remaining

I have managed to not do 1/12 of the challenge but nearly 1/4. Am I proud of myself? You bet. It's January.

Here's a daily graph by the way.

A linear graph showing two lines. One is straight, showing how many words should be written in a month to reach the goal, one is a poly-line with several bigger jumps and plateaus showing how much I've actually written, which ends up way above the first line.

I feel amazing. I didn't know writing down how many words I'm actually writing, planning, editing can be so motivating! I always felt like it would be just a painful reminder that I don't write enough yet here I am breaking all my records.

I know that I'll probably end up writing way less in February, as I have an exam session in just a few days, and vacation months will probably all go to shit too but... it's nice to have done so much already and have a hope to do a lot in the upcoming months.

Stay safe, stay sane!
