Below that, you’ll average words written per day in the draft folder or anywhere else in the binder and the total of the two. Below that you’ll see the number of days you’ve written in that particlar project and any changes that were made-words added or word deleted. Having said that let’s take a look and see what these numbers means.įirst off, on the top right hand corner you either show your history in words or characters. After examining the data, I see that this feature has counted the words I deleted, how many new ones I wrote while I revised and rewrote a chapter as well as the dry spell (I am muddling through the middle of my WIP). When I reviewed my numbers I was dismayed because I’ve been productive, or so I thought. Once you’ve clicked on it a popover window will slide open that shows an astonishing amount of data that will either make you feel like an accomplished writer or a dismal failure. You can find Writing History Under Projects in the menubar.
The folks at Literature and Latte know how obsessive writers are about their word counts, hours spent actually writing (not researching, or ruminating about a scene while walking the dog or scrubbing the kitchen floor, but actually butt in chair, fingertips on the keypad typing out words). But what do you write? A Facebook post? A Tweet? A grocery list? Are you slaving away at your work in progress? If you need a wakeup call of how much time you’ve put into your WIP, check out Scrivener’s Writing History feature.
“I write daily.” This is a statement I often hear from writers.
