I've decided to keep track of where I am on my current WIP, A Reluctant Vicar. It is already started so I can't use it for Nano, but my gaol is to get it finished by the end of November. I already have 20,471 words out of my 70,000 goal, so that is about the 50,000 I need. If anyone can tell me how to get that meter/counter for my current WIP that I see in so many margins on blogs, I would be very grateful. Otherwise, I will just post my word count occassionally. Maybe this will keep me focused and working on it.
Good luck to everyone trying to reach a goal.
I use one from this site. http://www.languageisavirus.com/nanowrimo/word-meter.html
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to use. :)
I know I've said this before, but I love the covers of your books!
I don't use a meter, so I can't help you there, but I think you can do NaNo even though you've already started your book. I'm not sure on this, but all you have to do is write 50,000 words of any book. If someone knows more, please let me know, but I've seen other blogs talking about how they already had 10,000 words so their goal was to hit 60,000.
ReplyDeleteHave no idea, I write 400 page articles and then combine them into books. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that link...
ReplyDeleteCan't tell you how to get the meter thingy. good luck with that one. Love the title of your book by the way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with NaNo! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYou're on your way to having a successful NaNo!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteoops that should read 400 word articles not 400 page articles. plus I need to edit my stuff more. lol!
ReplyDeleteSherrinda, thanks for the link but I couldn't make it work. Blogspot seems to think there is something wrong with it. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the suggestions everyone and good lucks.
LOL, Lin. Yep, sticking with the 400 word :).

ReplyDeleteI use one from the nano site. Sounds like you are doing an amazing job with the word count!
ReplyDeleteIf you click on them, they usually take you to the site so that you can choose whichever one you like best.
ReplyDeleteMay we all succeed with our goals this month!!!
Thank you for visiting my blog, Something She Wrote, yesterday. It's always nice to see new faces. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried a meter bar once, too, and found my momentum is better if accountability is left to just me, not those who see the bar. Good luck with it!
