131,000 Design Word Challenge: April Update

Another month is over, and so I’m reporting on my 2019 131,000-design word challenge for April. Last month, I managed 34,382 words; this month I clocked up 34,477 which is substantially more than my 11,000-word target. Thus, I am content.

Behold a graph of my progress to date for the year!

This means I’ve already written 133,497 words this year, which means I’ve “smashed” my yearly target by just over 2,000 words. I’m not sure what to do now. I didn’t foresee hitting my target so quickly. I might take a month of serious writing as there are some things I should *really* get done. Perhaps I’ll ponder that tonight while clutching a celebratory Maker’s Mark.

131,000 Design Word Challenge: February Update

Another month is over, and so I’m reporting on my 2019 131,000-design word challenge for February. Last month, I managed 33,101 words; this month I wasn’t quite so prolific, but I still clocked up 28,623 words which is substantially more than my 10,000-word target. Thus, I am content.

Onto March (and if you are doing a similar challenge let me know how you are doing in the comments below).

 

131,000 Design Word Challenge: January Update

It’s been a great month for the 131,000 Design Word Challenge–I hit roughly 33,101 words in January, which was somewhat higher than my 11,500-word target. The vast majority of these words came from Raging Swan Press supplements and adventures, while the rest came from blog posts and session summaries. The rough break down is:

  • Articles: 4,125
  • Session Summaries: 4, 354 words
  • Supplements and Adventures: 24,622

I’ve got a feeling I know how I’ve been so productive, and I’ll share more on my strategy and tactics in an upcoming post.

I’m not going to do a graph this month. I know this will disappoint some of you, but a graph with one column seems a tad pointless to me. Who knows what kind of graphical summary I will assail you with next month!

Onwards, to February
