Word Counts to Stay On Track
I started making a Daily Mem that includes a word count from iA Writer and a page count from my Travelers Notebook. I need to figure out a way to create a writing leaderboard–perhaps by Zapping from Airtable–because I am motivated when I chart my progress. I think it would be remarkably …
