Meter Bar Thingy

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.

  1. I use one from this site. http://www.languageisavirus.com/nanowrimo/word-meter.html
    It's easy to use. :)
    I know I've said this before, but I love the covers of your books!

  2. 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.

  3. Have no idea, I write 400 page articles and then combine them into books. Good luck.

  10. If you click on them, they usually take you to the site so that you can choose whichever one you like best.

    May we all succeed with our goals this month!!!

  11. Thank you for visiting my blog, Something She Wrote, yesterday. It's always nice to see new faces. :)

    I 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!
