I’ve updated the Word Counting Progress Calendar. It’s a functional visual progress counter for National Novel Writing Month participants who like to fill-in graphs to pace themselves.

How It Works

• Fill-in the approximate amount of words you are writing every day to get a sense of your pacing.
• Record your daily word counts and fill-in the number of boxes for each day (each box represents 250 words).
• As time goes on you can see the filled-in blocks turn into a progress graph.
• Summarize your weekly word totals and get a sense if you’re on-track to hit your 50,000 word goal!
