Lo, I Am Consistency Incarnate!
Well, NaNoWriMo 2011 is in the books, and I managed to win again. More importantly, though, is that I did it with style, if one can call grinding out a nearly unchanging daily wordcount stylish. I like to think it shows a certain professionalism, although others who bang out tens of thousands of words in scattered, caffeine-fueled bursts may feel that they are exhibiting more dash.
Still, though, check out this graph and tell me it isn’t a thing of beauty. Note the smooth progression, ever so gradually creeping past the par line so that I had a couple days to relax there at the end.
Wow – cool graph. I love graphs. I think if I graphed my wordcounts it might inspire me to write more. We science geeks are a sick, sick lot.
That’s the main reason I was considering trying out Scrivener – because I thought it would give me all sorts of cool wordcount stats, and apparently that sort of thing motivates me. But you use Scrivener, don’t you? Or am I thinking of someone else? Anyway, as a NaNo winner last year I got a half-price offer on Scrivener, but they are a year behind in coming out with it for Windows and counting at the moment, I think. I haven’t checked to see if they are making the same offer again.
