It’s time for my weekly word count check-in. At the end of every week, I post a screen shot from my writing results spreadsheet. This shows the current week and the three before. My week starts on Monday. The numbers are current through Sunday night. I also only average over six days. This allows me one day of no writing that doesn’t impact the weekly totals.

This was the first full week using the new “accounting” system. And I think it captured my work time much better.

This week I started tracking editing time on Friday. I was happy to see that I cracked 70K words. I’m still struggleing to increase my writing time per day.

I’ve been tracking my writing time since the beginning of the year. It’s interesting to see the data and the averages over time that go with it. As of today, I’ve written just over 70,000 words and spent 165 hours doing it.

My time tracking spreadsheet says that I’ve spent an average of 1h 54m per day writing. Looking at the data, one thing stands out. I’ve only been measuring my “first draft” writing time. Revisions, editing, and story planning aren’t being counted.

I was actually surprised at how much I got done this week. I took a whole day to sort out my taxes, but they’re done and filed. Every time look at the calendar now, I sigh with relief.

The week was about increasing my activity levels. And the little exercise I did really drove the point home about how out-of-shape I am. The last part of the week was the worst. I hope I start to feel better.

This week started out strong, but I was hit with intense shoulder pain that sidelined me for the weekend. Goals for the next week: finish the WIP chapter of the ruby book, and do three chapter reviews of the WSF&F book.

This week the number look about average, but I feel I didn’t do much. I had a serious lull in the middle of the week. A couple of big bursts early and late in the week rounded out the numbers. Hitting 50K would’ve been nice. But I just finished a 2K techincal post. Verifying the code while writing really drags things out. No more tonight.

I was shooting for more, but a bug in the Pogo software left me spending my time troubleshooting instead of writing. The average turned upwards again. I’m happy with that.

The goal for this week was to push out 1000 words per day. Only blog posts, fiction, project writing counts. Keeping track of emails and fourm posting would make me crazy.

I spent the first part of the week learning about how to make eBooks. But for writing, this was a week of poor concentration. I wasn’t able to focus on much of anything. It wasn’t writer’s block. It was more of a feeling that I just didn’t have anything worth writing inside me. Instead I spent time on Twitter. Overall, a poor showing.
