Today's Word Count

Okay, so I am sometimes a wee bit anal and analytical (you know, all those things my husband is…and I mean that in a loving respectful way. Really. I mean, he is an actuary.). I keep a spreadsheet to track my word count. It helps keep me on track and gives me an estimated end date based on how many words I’ve put in (which isn’t in this screenshot, but anyway). And great big glaring RED spots for those days I didn’t write at all and nice lovely green spots for those days I pass my word goal (1000 words).

So. I input in today’s numbers (I broke the 12,000 mark today) and weirdness of weirdnesses…my word count total is exactly the same as my last real writing day (I only fiddled a bit this past weekend and Monday was just blah ill).

That’s just weird. What are the chances of that? Wait, I guess I could ask my husband…

Anyway, I was actually going to write some more today but now I feel like I need to stop. Can’t mess with stuff like that, right?

Besides which, I think my brain is fried and the next bit is gonna be trés awkward for my main character. So it all works out anyway. Tomorrow I’ll start out fresh. And, seriously, if I hit 1,734 words again I will totally freak out.

P.S. Can you tell which days the nanny is here to watch The Max? Hmmmm…
