If you're interested I've made myself my own excel spreadsheet to chart my progress. it's got daily and weekly word goals plus a chart to show you what's going on. If you want a copy to see if it will suit your purposes just send me an email. I'd send you a link to it but it's not on any website x thanks for the writing progress meter links they’re v. handy, i’ve stuck the zokoutou one on my website.

She recently designed an excel-sheet for writing progress for the Tintenzirkel (bunch of German hobby fantasy authors, see www.tinzenzirkel.de ), so that we could do something like NaNoWriMo every month. You can set your own word-goal and enter your daily progress and it will tell you whether you wrote enough to be in the daily pensum and how much you'll have to write the remaining days to reach your goal. If you're interested, best ask Thesilée. :) You might ask Thesilée.

If you're using a Mac you have it somewhere; on a PC you have to install Cygwin. Computing a daily word count and mailing it to you can be done in about two lines of shell script. Oh, the heck with it: expr `wc -w novel.txt` - `cat yesterday` | mail you@localhost'; wc -w novel.txt > yesterday I love Unix!

I've heard that the program slows down when the wordcount gets high, and that concerns me a bit. How many words are in your Scrivener doc?

I am a Mac user and I use Scrivener, which is a super fantastic writing program without too many whistles, just the ones you really need, including a word counter. If you have a mac, take a look. Otherwise, there's a good Windows one called WriteItNow, which I used to use, also really good. Do you use a writing program that has a progress meter in it?
