I love word counts. They keep me on track each day, motivated to keep going on days when I’m feeling glum, and show me how much progress I’ve made since starting projects.
This past month I loved my NaNo calendar, which you can see on the sidebar and homepage. My goal was to get to 50,000 words, but once I started to see those green boxes build up I had to keep going and get that perfect calendar. The results? A new book I’ll put out in a couple weeks.
My Word Counts
Right now I’ve got 8 projects in the works. 5 of those are novels and 3 of them are non-fiction books.
2 of the novels are in this Tarot Card Killer universe I’ve created. One of those is almost finished. One book is a short book for Kindle Worlds, another is a fantasy novel about a group of mercenaries for hire, and the last is about a mountain man trekking through the wilderness.
The non-fiction books include my latest Montana history book, a book on Ancient Chinese history from 1200 BC to 321 BC, and another book on English as a Second Language (ESL).
