You just need to type in your word count and how many hours you wrote that day. The report card gives you lots of useful numbers and stats to distract you from acutally working.

So, there will *not* be a maintained group count on TWG. At least, I won't be doing it. HOwever, please feel free to post your word count in your signature or just to post in this thread or "happy things" or even "Grumpy things" how much (or how little) you've managed to write. We want to see how you're doing, certainly.

Well since it's my last day before I start, I'm doing lots of research today.
*nods*

Excellent excuse to finish all the books I've been reading.

Yeah. So. Today's November 1st? Guess that means I should start writing. I have no outline, but I'll just write. Any writing is more than I've done lately.

I wrote the first chapter of my novel in a notebook and have LOST the notebook!  ARGH.  Didn't get it into electronic format. If a dog has eaten it I will be very veyr angry.  Don't even have a wordcount.  Stupid freaking notebook.
