Metrics

[loaded_march]

I just about passed out on myself yesterday, I was so tired.  I think it's half a combination of random insomnia and a persistent desire to do something illegal and painful to certain colleagues.  One might have something to do with the other, but it's hard to tell which way that the current is flowing right now.  Anyway, that's my explanation for not posting word count yesterday.  I zonked out on the keyboard.

I did get 3K done yesterday, and another 3K today, which brings my total to...

*glances at current word count*

Um.  Hold on.

*glances at total word count*

Like I said, there's a reason why I don't do math in public.  It's kind of embarrassing even on a good day.  I mean, it's not that I'm bad at math.  I'm quite good, actually.  I have a dusty minor degree in mathematics.  I do math all the time in my job.  I just need a pencil and a blank sheet of paper --

Wait.  Is that a pink elephant in the room?

*hastily adjusts the progress bar*

Ha.  No.  It's not.  Silly me.

Anyway, my current word count stands at:

72000 / 90000 (80.00%)

Yeah, I need the pencil and paper for math. I have a specific learning disability that makes it hard to retain numbers in my head. I'm fine with math if I can write it all out (always did VERY well in school) but don't ask me to do even simple stuff in my head. Phone numbers? Hah!

\o/ for words! You always come up with the best words. Silly or serious, I never get tired of what you have to say.

*hugs*

(And I am all happy cuz despite my ill health and computer crash, I have finished my RBB...again. It's only due to post tomorrow...)

LOL, we all knew the word-o-meter would need to be adjusted sooner or later. It's YOU. :D

Regardless, the fact that you even DO these metrics, and so frequently, keep me sane. :) Nothing but love.

I agree with anawreckslife, these metrics and the bar totalling the progress gives me a weird sort of peace of mind- guess I like to keep track of things, even when they're not mine!
Bless you for putting the progress bar in and producing more words than initially expected, here have cookies :D

Any chance those 6K words contain 'something illegal and painful' inflicted upon somebody? :)

I hope you're writing to maintain your sanity, otherwise you should be in bed with a warm cup of milk and somebody giving you a foot massage.

Look... you're feeling sleepy already http://nayna.in/images/snoring.jpg :) zzzz.....

So I read all the way through the series a few days ago, and it is easily in my top five fics in any fandom, anywhere. I'm amazed by the consistent quality and sheer size and so impressed by how quickly you write it. So this is just me fangirling a little at you - I can't wait to read the next installment and thank you so much for contributing such a fantastic world of writing to the fandom!
