Ya, it's a new feature. c:
According to mine, I have zero words across my three books. I would show a screen cap, but the phone is memory jammed again. This doesn't seem to work for everyone.
So from my three series.
Series 1: 105.3k wordsSeries 2: 31.4k wordsSeries 3: 21.2k words (This one's also the NaNoWriMo entry).
You have to edit and save all your chapters first
Mine are all showing up as 0 words, but I know I've written at least 350'000 words this year (I track my word counts with a spreadsheet. )
Also, this new feature is awesome, I love the idea.
Right?? Now I don't need to add up word counts individually. It's greattt.
Yes!! It's also perfect for NaNo!
i'm on chapter 8 of sundown, (about 1/4-1/3 through the story) and i have about 37k words written, which is more than ive written for anything ever.
Kinda a little counter-intuitive for those who see their ENTIRE wordcount in an instant, but I'll take what I can get from Tapas at this point.
Ya, it doesn't take too long tho cx
Series 1, The Girl in Cell 3 - ~60,000 wordsSeries 2, ELINA (2nd Writer's Camp) - ~43,000 words Series 3, Teaching English In Another World (3rd Writer's Camp) - ~11,000 words
110,656 so far . . . you smoked me @ISNEKO One of my goals is to write a million words in 5 years.
110k words is really impressive! Most people wouldn't get this far!
I remember when I wrote a 110k novel in half a year. It was a contest of who would survive between my hand and my laptop keyboard
Uhh, I just started my writers camp entry and only have 5.3k words :sBut that novel which now is a draft has actually over 50k :v
that's how many words I've written in a year . . . you wrote that in six months. Loll, hand pain is very real for me too. But not going to stop creating.
There's this twitch streamer I follow who wrote 2 million words in a year and became an amazon #1 bestseller, which I always think of as my life goal. But that's 20 years of work for me at the rate i'm going . . . but I will get there eventually.
2 million in a year? Wow, now I'm wondering if he slept at all, that is impressive!
I mean it's 5000 words a day which if you think about it isn't that bad. if you did 2.5k a day you could get to a million in a year. it's all just organization honestly!!
and committment
That would be a great challenge as well. Maybe I'll try it . . .
Just want to say congrats on all of your hard work so far. Words are hard and you guys have written a lot of them. Well done.
*Checks*Looks like the short story I have posted (Depths) is 5k.The novella I plan to start posting on Friday (Dreams of Scale and Bone) is currently 19k, although I'm still writing it (~80% done).The novel I'm writing that I'm too scared to post anywhere (To Grasp the Dawn) is currently at 110k, and that's also still going (~90% done).

So many word counts @.@I like this new feature though. It helps me get a better sense for how long the episodes are that I'll be posting.It's also helpful to see if we're meeting word goals for the Writers' Camp or NaNoWriMo. I wonder if the update has anything to do with how the Writers' Camp rules are set up.
True! What impresses me though is that if he did publish his works in the same year, then balancing editing, publishing, and writing is harder than just the writing itself (in my opinion). Even so, it takes dedication to show up every day, so in either case that author is a champ!
Good luck if you do, it might be fun to give it a go for a whole year just to get the experience, I might attempt this as well in the future as you've made me want to try! (We should have a year-round NaNo kind of event. )
