To gain an approximate word count: count the number of words on an average full line of type. Count the number of lines on the page and multiply together. Count the number of pages and multiply again. This should give you a rough word count number.

Finally finished my revisions on Philanike #book 2 today! Trimmed the #wordcount fat down from 96k words to just over 78k, which is huge! #writing #fantasyauthor #author #fantasywriting

Some days you write 2,000 words. Some days you write 20. Both count. Progress isn't always loud.

How many words did you write today, even if it's just a few?

“Control, this is Officer Mattis. I’m in need of assistance. Over.”
There was a scratching noise from the radio on his vest.
“What is your situation?” a woman asked. “Over.”
“There’s a wolf at the Little Chef on the bypass. Over.”
“Please repeat. Did you say a wolf? Over.”
“Yes! There’s a bloody giant wolf outside the restaurant. Send backup now! Over.”

“Easy? You don’t seem to understand. Once he possesses that thing you’ve created, it’ll be like it never existed. Imagine an engagement ring, a childhood toy, a violin concerto, all gone from memory and replaced with an emptiness, an itch at the back of your mind you can never quite scratch. The wardens sustain power by taking and hoarding our creativity, draining us of our inspiration.”

We jolted forward and the front wheels lifted off the ground. I bounced in my seat as we landed, holding Susie tight around the waist as we hurtled across the field towards the underpass. The headlights stretched over the open field as the Barg bounded in pursuit, breath pouring and saliva trailing from its gaping maw.

Going to post daily writing progress with my overall mood and a snippet from BENEATH SILVER STITCHES. I hope this will provide motivation for myself and other aspiring authors.

I backed up behind a wall, not taking my eyes from it, not even to blink. A regular wolf would’ve been scary enough, but the Barg stirred an uncanny fear in me, something I wasn’t supposed to experience growing up in a country free of dangerous predators. Was this how Bilbo must have felt confronting Smaug in his lair?

Took a couple of days off #writing. Sitting at a 32.3k #wordcount out of a min 60k. Feeling so close and yet so far. 🫩

The joys of being a #writer. Tell me about your MCs! Let’s share the inspiration. ❤️‍🔥

Today I wrote 500 words. This breaks a 22-day streak of writing 1,000 words or more; I have not missed a day of writing in 23 days. #wordcount #writing

Will try to restart the streak again tomorrow!

Three weeks! And it's either general overwork or bad sleep, but we are now in "vomit out the words" mode. At BEST I would expect this stuff to survive as a plot point notecard...
