This is for authors, both Original and Fan Fiction. You can join in if you want, or just lurk like what most people do. Nothing bad about either of the choices, but I hope you choose the former.
Why don't we start posting how many chapters we've written and your mind set while doing it, at the end of the day you wrote it/them?
Then, at the end of the month, we could compile the amount to get a solid number. From this, we could check up on how many of those chapters actually make it to publication, so we could see how much work we made that eventually ended up getting wasted. Of course, you'd see how much work was made that actually mattered.
Efficiency, people. Who doesn't want to know how efficient they are?
Think of it as an exercise that tracks your progress, and maybe we could get something out of it. Look back on what we felt when writing those chapters and possibly try to recreate those moments when we get inspired and avoid repeating the times when we procrastinate.
Format is this:
(Novel Name:) - self explanatory, what is the novel you are currently working on?
(Date:) - self explanatory, when did you write this?
(Amount of Chapter/s written that day:) - this is basically the amount of chapters that were written, with a chapter containing the following: title and content (doesn't have to be complete)
(Words written that day:) - amount of words you've written, just add the word count.
(Amount of Chapter/s ready for publication that day:) - this is how many chapters you've decided to insert into that publication line. Could be chapters that were edited today but written yesterday, or even a few days ago. This one, however, must be fully written and also edited, based on your standards, of course.
(Thoughts when writing:) - what were the feelings, ideas and even the troubles you experienced when writing. Were there some things that made you stop writing? Or what about the opposite, were there some things that made you want to write? Put them here.
(Self-Evaluation:___) - this is somewhat related to the previous one, but this one is more definite. Was it a good day for writing or not?
