I write every day with my business, but am also a children's author and that part is always getting shoved to the pile of "when I have time." Love to know more about your word count system.

I assign more word points to those things that are most important to finish that month. For example, when I moved across country, packing was awarded 10,000 word points. Another 10K item is anything that results in a writing sale. :) I'll post a sampling of past/present goals and their word points sometime in the next week or so. (Be patient! I really am inundated with activities and tasks I can't set aside. It will take me awhile to get back on track.) A usual goal for the month is 25,000-50,000 word points.

I tend to fall in and out of tracking methods and motivators but each new one leaves something behind. I'm ready for a new one for life and for writing. Tell me more about how you assign points. I love the blog. Me too! I tend to fall in and out of tracking methods and motivators but each new one leaves something behind. I’m ready for a new one for life and for writing.

Life has been getting in my way, too! I just started a spreadsheet this morning because I was so proud I wrote 600 words yesterday and am aiming to write more today - something, anything - I love tracking these things. It is such a great idea to assign points to researching and editing, too! I'd love to play :) Yes!
