GYWO: June 21

Posted on by

Time for another edition of Get Your Words Out!

Yeah I haven’t updated this count since May 1. Holy goodness. Good news is, I don’t think I’ve written much in the last six weeks, so it should be an easy one!

At the end of April I surpassed my goal of 200,000 words. Uh, that was supposed to be Jan- Dec ya’ll. I’m wordy. So I increased my goal level to 300,000 and kept on truckin.

So, now on……..June 21st, I am going to count everything I’ve written since May 1.


Goal: 300,000

Previous Count:208,562

New Words: 41006

New Count: 249568

Words to go: 50432

I didn’t include a chapter of AIWD because I’m not quite sure I didn’t count it in the May 1 count… it’s fine, I am doing well on my numbers, so if I didn’t count it, it doesn’t matter. This number was boosted by starting a new piece– which I am totally stuck on, now.

So now I am back on track and provided I write something before June 30, I will have another count then.

*Just for my own reference point: counted everything through Ch 19(AIWD)  and page6 (ST)

    This is a neat idea: identifying a word goal every month. Love the way your blog is set up, BTW!

      Thanks!! I originally wanted to participate in this community but I missed the cutoff by a day. :( So I decided to do it on my own and since I have only been writing since last year I was kind of surprised at how much I can spit out!
