I was waiting for a new thread but since we're still using this one: I resolved to write (at least) 500 words every day of 2019. That's 182,500 words by the end of December; 15,500 by the end of January. Just getting into the habit for now. In February or March I'll shoot for something structured, like working on a single contiguous story. I'll share my total word count at the end of each month.

January check in. No spillover allowed between months, nor most days (with very particular exceptions), so the goal to hit for February is 31,382 minimum (since I'm counting things cumulatively).

That shouldn't be necessary, I'm just clarifying: I'm not writing towards some goal that, once hit, I can take a load off and stop writing. Going over budget January doesn't mean I have to write less words in February, so I'm providing the number I have to beat, not the ceiling I need to meet.

May check in. Needed to afford myself some flexibility on this one. Got a new apartment and had to spend the second half of the month moving in, piece by piece, alongside a bunch of other work-related nonsense. Bad Seafood posted:Target for May is 82,869.
