If you’re looking for a word progress for your projects outside of NaNoWriMo try writertopia. They have a couple of meters on their website. I am currently trying one on my site. I am using the one of the little raisin-like guy (reminds me of a California Raisin) and you get to not only update your wordcount but also this little guy’s mood. The moods rate from 0-7:
0 = very frustrated
1 = ready to shoot computer
2 = shocked at what’s written
3 = sleeping
4 = watching TV
5 = logical and calm
6 = working at novel
7 = joyful
I guess when the book is finished he celebrates by having a beer! lol
I have a feeling I’m going to have a blast with this little guy!
