Written Word Counter 2023!
Here is the new Written Word Counter for 2023!
Please start an original comment thread below using the text box shown under this paragraph. Please use the subject line: 'Your Name's Word Count 2023' (see mine for example), so that when I get the notifications, I can easily sort them! THANK YOU!
We ask that in this post, you do not comment on anyone else’s comment. LJ will only let us update comments if they have no response. If you are not a current LJ user or cannot update your own information, then leave the updated information as a comment to your own comment, or contact one of the maintainers.
Count what you will. In previous years we used the theory that if you had made it available for someone else to read, such as posting a fic, submitting an assignment or sending a letter, then it was countable, but be guided by what feels like the right thing for YOU. We will not judge you or mark you down for something that may not fit this criteria.
In fact, I'm going to count all I've written, and then if I manage to post, I'll write that separately, like so: 1000 written/100 posted. As I got no posted words last year it was a bit discouraging so I feel like this will help me. ALL I ask is that if you do this, please let me know which you prefer us to count. For me, counting all I write is the only way I'll have anything to add at the end of the year! Feel free to do the same or not; it's up to you!
You can also link your writings here, if that is what you've done in the past, but this is not essential. If you do want to do this, please do it ABOVE the list of month counts, so that they stay together at the bottom of your comment. Thank you!
Update your numbers when it's convenient, whether this is the end of the month or partway through. For example, If you put '100' on Jan 14th and then go back on the 31st and update this to the month's complete total '300' (Being the 100 from the 14th, plus another 200 since), that's perfectly okay.
We will be adding the last number we see after the last day of each month into a schedule that can be updated and added to over the year, which will hopefully mean we will catch any updates on each person's count without confusion.
Good luck, everyone!
