NaNoWriMo Report Cards and Word Count Meters http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185 S. M. Worth Dragonchilde, please move this to Tech if it belongs there. Really wasn't sure where to put it. Here is a link to a spreadsheet for keeping track of your NaNoWriMo progress. The credit is not mine, not sure where I found it last year, but I updated it for 2011.

You only need to enter in your current word count and it fills in the rest. If you have a different total word count goal, different start date, or different length of time you're writing (up to 375 days), you can change those values on the right and the chat will correct itself. It also highlights what day you're on and there's a line chart of your progress on sheet #2. Oh, and the "ideal goal" thing is yesterday's word count + your daily goal. If you get behind in anything, text will turn red. You'll understand once you start using it. Oh, and all the columns on the first sheet that you shouldn't be changing are protected, but if you need to unprotect them for any reason, the password is "nanowrimo".

It's called <a href="http://writetrack.davidsgale.com" rel="nofollow">WriteTrack</a>. One of it's major strengths is that it doesn't expect you to do 1,667 words each and every day--you tell it if there are some days where you can't write as much (or at all), or if there are days where you can write more, and it adjusts your daily targets based on your planned availability, as well as how much you've done already. So you can plan on taking Thanksgiving off, if you want, without worrying about falling behind. :-) If you give it your NaNoWriMo.org user id (not the user name--look at the URL for your profile page to get your ID number), it'll automatically pull in your reported progress whenever you visit the site. Oh, and it's free. :-) -David Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:31:50 -0400 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_322584 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_322584 DGale Update: I didn't realize when I posted this that NaNoWriMo.org was changing the system to use user names rather than the obscure user IDs. So ignore that bit of my comment. :-) Giving <a href="http://writetrack.davidsgale.com" rel="nofollow">WriteTrack</a> your user ID should allow it to automatically pull in your word counts from here (though, since they're changing the system and haven't released new documentation yet, I can't actually verify this for another day or two). -David Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:10:42 -0400 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_325031 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_325031 MzHartz I like this one.

I am in M.A. Theatre mode and my math brain is mush. I'm sure I would just mess it up. I just like how it has three different kinds of graphs all big and clear at the top.

Please? Ok, here's the deal. I'm an Adventist Christian. I don't write on Saturdays and, in an attempt to refocus my mind on Jesus, I don't write on Friday either. I have a daily word count goal of 2500 a day. I know that, keeping this goal, I can meet 50k no big deal. SO the report card is telling me that I'm behind because I didn't write on either of those days. I know this is not the case; keeping 1667 a day, NaNoers should currently have a count of at least 10,002. I have a word count of 10,195. However, this bugger is telling me "You've fallen a bit behind, but one or two more big pushes and you should be back in business." Wow! Thanks for the incentive, Excel! I know that I am where I'm supposed to be, but how do I make Excel realize this? Can someone set up another spreadsheet for me with Friday and Saturday missing? That might change the math a little, because I know I can't keep the Sabbath and write 1667 like every one else. Help me! Please? :-D Emily Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:25:27 -0500 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_534890 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_534890 DGale Emily, That's why I built <a href="http://writetrack.davidsgale.com" rel="nofollow">WriteTrack</a>. When my wife did NaNo in 2004, we realized that 1,667 sounds nice, but it doesn't match reality. I built an excel file for her that year which allowed her to take days off, work extra hard on others, etc.; it worked really well, but was a pain to update for later projects. WriteTrack uses pretty much the same math, but is fully configurable--you set your goal, your start &amp; end dates, what days you can work and which ones you can't, etc.; it takes care of the math for you. Of course, WriteTrack is a web tool; if you're set on an offline excel file, it's not going to help you. But it's worth trying out, at least? -David Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:11:00 -0500 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_540964 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/nano-technology/threads/1185?page=1#forum_thread_comment_540964 Emily Logan Nope, not particular like that.
