2018 Wrap-Up Numbers

I keep pretty detailed spreadsheets for each month because I’m a little neurotic, and I like seeing the progress in an analytical way. I totally get that this doesn’t work for everyone, that it can be frustrating and counterproductive for some.

I started back in 2013 when I decided I was going to write 1 million words in a year (or 11 months, as it turned out) and just kept doing it. It holds me accountable, keeps me on track, and helps me remember that I’ve done this before. I can do it again.


Words Written: 600,113-words in 12 months
(AVG 50,009-words/month)

By the middle of December, any other goals had whittled away until the only thing that really remained was getting to 600k. And by “really mattered” what I mean was, it was the only remaining attainable year-goal, and I’ve been focusing on the attainable lately, rather than trying to push myself to do something that is… a nightmare on paper.


My best month was October (113,815) my worst was March (19,684). These are neither my bes…

If you write, you’re a writer.

I hate when I hear people say they’re “an aspiring writer.”
Because invariably, they’re wrong. They don’t want to be, they already are.

If you write, you’re a writer.
If you’ve written a book (even just a spotty and fractured first draft), you’re an author.

The only way to be an aspiring writer is to never actually try. If you spend all your time thinking about it without ever putting pen to paper or fingers to keys… then you can say you’re aspiring and be completely truthful.

Aspirations are about not doing something. Once you’ve started doing it, you’re no longer aspiring, you’ve passed that bar!


There are two reasons I think people use this:

1- Most of the times I have heard this (when it wasn’t said directly to me) the statement was made to a traditionally published author, or someone on a convention panel. And I think it became the thing to say in this situation because it sounds better than “I want what you have.”

Maybe people think that sort of statement will come off as somethi…

April Numbers 2019

41,893-words in 25 days
(Average: 1,676 words/day)
4 projects + Admin (2%)


I was quite scattered this past month.
I averaged 8,378 per week which isn’t terrible. It just isn’t great. And I did wind up smack dab in the middle of the previous years’ April counts.

While I don’t want to make excuses (I’m going to give you one right now), I do think that not having an actual desk at home has been problematic in terms of getting a consistent word count down at home. And things don’t get done when writing random snippets on random devices.

Pages Edited: 30

I’m going to admit… before I started keeping track of the pages, it *felt* like I do more editing on average each month. This is one of those things where I’m not upset about it, I’m just aware.
Books Acquired: 5

I’m employed again, which means I can put some of that money toward needing another bookshelf.
