Last episode, we talked about logging your words, to motivate yourself to write more. This episode we look at other ways to log your progress for those times (e.g. when you’re editing a big project) when logging your (new) words is beyond depressing!
002 – Word Count Logging for Success
Last year I wrote 100,000 words of fiction (that’s on top of all the non-fiction writing, mothering, wife-ing and general living I got done).
In this episode I show you how to use word count logging to boost your writing output and to keep yourself accountable.
I also invite you to join us at the Serious Writers’ Accountability Group (SWAGr – we’re ‘serious’, not ‘sombre’!) at http://storyaday.org/category/swagr/ on the first of every month, to set your goals for the coming month and review how you got on last month.

Plus a fairy-tale of a writing prompt!
