Daily word count: ???
Total word count: ???
Oh boy… it is on brand for me to
break computers and programs. 4theWords insists that I have written 5,632 words
today. I haven’t; I know I haven’t. There are only 3,802 words in the document. It shouted at me when my file
got over 10k and insisted that I make smaller documents within a larger file
project. So I did that half way through yesterday. So I really can’t have
written more words than there are in the document, eh?
But I have a backup! I started a Scrivener file to hold my back-ups
and to work as a double save file. It auto backups to google. Call it overkill
if you will.
Woot. I am all over this. Competence,
my middle name is competence.
*Opens Scrivener file *copies*
cuts* pastes*
Hmmm… well, NOW let’s see what Scrivener
says.
Daily word count: 6,273
Total word count: 13,807
Oh, for fuck’s sake. Now I’ve
broken Scrivener, too?! There is no WAY I did half my word count today!!?
*face palms*
When I put a total count of 13,807
into the Nanowrimo site I get a daily increase of 1,993.
That’s it! I give up!
*Throws hands up in the air*
Sighs deeply. I’m over the graph line;
nothing else matters.
Yesterday, I forgot to add that I was
also baking sourdough late at night. Compelled by an electric fan-forced oven
and the imminent arrival of electricians.
Yes. I resurrected my starter.
Look at that.
Now that is a decent loaf. A bad
photo, but a decent loaf.
For the record, the cast iron pot
is a 5 litre one from Ikea.
The electricians came, and efficiently
did everything on my list. There is a light in my pantry. I make a happy squeal
noise each time I open the door.
PS: all credit to 4theWords. I
messaged them to say there was an issue with the site showing a streak - the
blue line that shows you have written daily. I know my step counter streak
makes me walk every day and I have long been looking for some type of word
counter that would do the same. Today, it’s fixed. Well done, guys.
