February may have been a short month, but it was also a greatly productive one! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Here's my first set of word totals for the year. January was chaotic, to say the least. But I'm pretty happy with my progress, considering I took a week and a half off :3 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

These were my final word counts for 2025 - and they're well beyond what I expected. Here's hoping 2026 can be just as productive! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

November was an interesting month. But it was also very productive :3 I set a goal to hit 150,000 words in a single project - and I hit it! :D #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

The 75k so far has taken me about 2 weeks of writing. That's roughly 5k a day. Historically, I sometimes write around 10k a day but I'm usually between 3k-5k so I'm in my more normal range right now. #writingcommunity #booksky #wordcounts #hypergraphia

October was a crazy month, and most of it is a blur. But it was also incredibly productive, so I'm happy about that! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Your readers have been 'trained' or 'groomed' to a sweet spot chapter length. Many readers read a chapter at bedtime. A specific chapter length fits into their schedule. You can identify the probable word count of chapters that will fit into their grooming.

When you are writing your novel you are also choosing your novel path. If you aim at traditional press then your word count needs to make the profit that publisher wants.
When you choose self publishing your novel size also affects your potential profits.

Novel word count lengths are based on traditional publishing costs. X number of pages or signatures costs X - a well-known publisher formula. More pages or signatures costs more. Readers expect books in one genre to cost similar across publishers.

As you read newly published novels in your sub-genre, you will also calculate an estimated word count for the novel and for each chapter.
Every novel genre has its sweet spot length. This is the length of novel in common release for that genre. This varies.

And here are September's words. Apparently I knocked it out of the park o_o This is for sure my highest word count ever - I didn't even know this was possible! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #wordcounts

Went to calculate my words for September and realized I never calculated August's words... So there they are! This represents the last of my edits for the year. Plus I took a week off, so I'm happy with the results :3 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

I took a week off in July AND I'm working on late-pass edits, so I don't expect high word counts for the month. Still, I'm quite pleased with my progress :3 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

It should come as no surprise that my word counts are slightly smaller in the summer because I take some time away ;) But June saw the end of several projects - and I'm pleased about that! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Here are my word counts for February of 2025. Edits continue to be my main focus. But since I've started outlining and working on side projects, my word counts are increasing! :D #amwriting #WritingCommunity #wordcounts

What's the word count of the debut novel you just read? To find out go to a full middle page of the book, count how many words in a full line of type, count how many lines on the page, this gives you an average page count. Multiple number of pages. #writingcommunity #querying #wordcounts

It's been awhile since I started out my year with edits instead of writing. So my word counts seem a little lower than usual. But I'm still happy to be caught up in my schedule! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Here's the final breakdown of my word counts for 2024 (including December's totals). Overall, I did more edits than writing - but that's all part of the process! Looking forward to a new year of words! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

I have no idea how many words I wrote tonight. At a guess, I’d say a little over 500. It wasn’t much, but it’ll do. Any writing, no matter how little, is an accomplishment. I’ll take it!

The new year is here, so I'm quietly sneaking into the back row to take a seat, praying it doesn't notice me. This will be the year of words on three new projects to release in 2026 and onward. Here's to #wordcounts! Wishing you all a happy new year! 🥳

These are my final word counts for November! The good news is, I finished the novel (and the series - again)! The bad news is... I ran out of words ^^;; so I didn't hit the 150K. But I still think of this as a win! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Here's my project status at the end of the second week in November. I've caught up a bit, but it's still going to be challenging to hit the 150K! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts

Here's where I stand after the first week of November. I'm behind where I should be to hit my (admittedly hefty) goal. (I was supposed to hit 5,000 a day to stay on track.) However, there's still plenty of time to get where I want to go! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #wordcounts

Seems like I won't join any new platform for november writing and will note my #WordCounts in the classic way. My hashtags will be #NewNovelMonth, #WritersLife and #WritingCommunity.

I sincerely cannot believe my word totals for this year! Despite losing a computer at the end of August and having to set up a new one at the start of September, it clearly didn't slow me down! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WordCounts
