Word Meter

Sorry for the late post today, but I have had a fever and been sick for the past 24 hours. Not sure what's up, but hopefully I'm near the end of it.

I thought I would just quickly post that I have put up a word meter on the right sidebar for the novel that I have recently started. This is my first serious attempt at a novel, and I want to keep up with my progress and know that others are looking over my shoulder making sure that pink bar moves. For now, I'm calling the book "Selfish" simply because the main character is going to do some selfish things, but that will probably not be the end title, just a temporary one. As you can see, I put my word goal at 80,000 words. It may be more or less when I get finished, but I figured that was a pretty safe place to aim. Yesterday I wrote just over 1,000 words, so it was a good start. Now, I am going to get to work today and see if I can write some good pages despite the yucky feeling in my tummy.
