WIP Challenge check in - day 6
How is today going for you?
Today is going quite well as I typed my new scenes on my kids big bang and a quick word count check tells me that I'm a little under 1600 words on the rough draft of the chapter I’ve been working on, and I'll likely be spending another hour or so with that fic before I stop for the day.
Discussion: word count. Is knowing your word count while you are writing important? Do you wait until you've finished to check it?
I don't like knowing my word count while I’m writing, I find that it puts me off and blocks my flow. I prefer to wait until I’ve finished because the final count is more important to me than the in-progress count.
