Kate Cavanaugh Writes | SAYING NO TO WORD COUNTS // a one-day writing experiment! @KateCavanaugh | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Word counts are divisive within the writing & authortube community, so I figured I would attempt a vlog without sharing ANY. I also challenged the stream to ~share their progress~ without word counts and it was super fun. Here's some revelations I had during this experiment....
0:00 Why no word counts??
1:22 A little morning routine or tarot and emails.
6:32 Organizing beta reader feedback.
8:28 Challenging the stream to also not share word counts.
10:56 New short story, challenging myself not to use dialogue.
13:11 Wrap-up of my thoughts on the "no word count" experiment & updating you on projects.
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
When you're NOT participating in streams or hanging with other writers, do you track your word counts??
How do you "measure" progress for a single writing session? Do you not measure at all?
Do you prefer watching vlogs where people share their word count progress during the video??
