February Word Count Update


Well, February was much better than January in regards to word count. Maybe it was because there were only 28 days in the month, or maybe because I wrote more. Here are the stats:

Monthly Goal: 42,000 words (28 days x 1,500 words)
Actual Words Written: 43,829 words
+/- Difference: + 1,829 words
Average Words/Day: 1,565.132 Words/Day
Number of Days of More Than 1,500 Words Written: 17 Days (60.7%)

Year To Date 
Word count Goal for the Year (Jan&Feb): 88,500 words
Actual Words written: 80,415 Words
+/- Difference: - 8,085 words

What did I lean this month? That sitting the old butt down in the chair works! Looking back over the month, I spent maybe an extra fifteen hours writing in February. Average for January was about 2.75 hours/day, while the average for February was almost an hour more -- 3.64 hours.

Looking at the word count, that is spread out over four different projects, but 80K is a novel-length work. Assuming I could do that in month in and month out, that would be 6 80K novels a year -- that isn't bad.

Well, short entry tonight, hope 2019 is being good to you all.

Later!
