Metrics

[loaded_march]

So, for today's metrics... wait, I'm getting ahead of myself!

If no one's noticed -- and I'm thinking maybe one or two of you might not have spotted it -- I tend to write in section blocks. How long those blocks are depends on the story -- it varies between 3,000 and 5,000 words.

That means for every part of Loaded March, I have 10 or 12 shorter documents, each one of them in an alternating point of view (usually Arthur's and Merlin's, with other people thrown in for good measure), that I combine into a master document before posting to AO3.

The only exception to this method was Intermission, which was written all in one, long, document, which meant that I was forever scrolling up trying to find another detail that I didn't want to overlook, instead of just opening the right document.  It was annoying.  It also made it difficult to predict how close I was to the end in terms of overall word count and percentage completion.

I'm back to the many-shorter-documents approach, which leads me to the metrics:

Today's word count: 5,000 (and change, but rounding down to the closest hundred)

This means that I'm also 2.5 documents out of an approximate 10 to a completed part.

Still no title.  Why is there no title.

*shakes the Title jar*

Someone ate all the titles.
