I do love a good stats sheet
I was reading Smart Bitches Trashy
Books, and they had a 2019 update for a spreadsheet to track your reading. Now
I use Goodreads to record my reviews and keep track of stuff I own or want to
read. I also keep my reviews in a Scrivener file I recently amended to include
meta-data for male or female authors but it doesn’t have the extras that this
one does. So, I downloaded it and gave it a go.
After a month’s worth of entries I
have a better idea of whether it will work.
Specifically, I wanted to record
diverse authors and book characters; this sheet has it in a pie chart. *squees*
Look at that, isn’t it pretty?
I have assumed that having goblins
and giants in your story doesn’t technically count as ‘diverse’ characters. I
mean if they are goblins of colour [wait… what colour are goblins? never mind…]
If they are gay or queer or trans then I count them. And they have to be more
than just a token character. That’s how I intend to use it, your usage may
differ.
Download it at the link below if
you are interested.
Happy reading.
