What will your 2023 daily word count be? | Words Count

I’m starting to track my word counts for 2023.

I expect there will be lots of failure along the way. For me this is an experiment in process, practice, and accountability.

I will be posting my daily word counts publicly on the Send My Love to Anyone homepage where you will be invited to track your word counts in the comments or share your own public link.

In addition to tracking word counts, I’ve started a new section on Send My Love to Anyone called Words Count where I (and occasionally other guest writers) will write short notes about craft and process.

In case you miss any of this, a recap will be included in the monthly newsletter. There will not be daily emails from Word Counts because, well, that would be annoying!

For my word count number, I’ve chosen to try Fawn Parker’s 1500 words a day knowing I won’t hit that number and fully expect to adjust it as the year goes on.

For me it’s not about the number, but rather the consistency of having a regular writing routine.

If you are tracking, what are you working on and what is your daily word count target?
