it turns out that june did, in fact, exist
Jul. 1st, 2024 08:57 pmI'm not entirely convinced of that *side-eyes*
Anyway, writing stats!
I wrote, in total, 59k words in Jun! That's a record. (It's only that high because there were five complete weeks in Jun, so I did in fact write 13k every week for five weeks in a row, instead of four. I expect I'll write less in July; maybe 55k or something like that?)
In June I also set a new 'most words written in a single day' record and that record is now at 6.4k words. That sure was a Sunday, whew. Overall, my yearly word-count is now at 277k words, meaning it is like 20k words above what![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout thinks my pledge level should have ended the month on. That is absolute bananas to me (and I'm very proud!)
I did, as you might have guessed, hit my weekly goal in June. This means moving onward; in July my goal will be 14k words every week. Not gonna lie, this worries me. Not just because that is *a lot of words* but because I'm going away visiting family in July and I don't know how the writing will go. At this point, I've embedded this schedule deep enough into my neurodivergent brain that the idea of purposefully missing/lowering my goal is anathema and kind of nauseating, so I don't really know what I'm going to do.
The only strategy I've come up with so far is; try to write the whole goal in like the first four day of the week so it's out of the way and I don't have to worry about it. That's like... well, I'm not going to do the math because I never do, it's less stressful when I don't have to know what daily average or whatever I need to hit. I just write how I feel like and panic on Sundays when I realize I should have written a lot more.
Anyway, I think 14k by the like, Thursday that week *should* be doable.
This ties into interesting data I am keeping an eye on; in June, I once more only wrote 23 days. That number is really stubborn. I'm still not writing on more days, I'm only writing more *on the days I'm writing.* 23 out of 30 days should mean that I could potentially do 14k words in 4 days...
Potentially.
