Check-In – Day 27

[samuraiter]

Kids are going back to school, the weather is starting to cool (here in the U.S.), and retailers are gearing up for the holidays. *shakes head* Summer turns to autumn a little too soon. What have you been doing?

— Thinking. Maybe a little, maybe a lot.
— Writing.
— Planning and / or researching.
— Editing.
— Sending things to the beta.
— Posting!
— Relaxing, taking a break, etc.
— Other stuff-ing. Look at the comment.

The question for today is one of those either / or things: Do you reckon your word count as you go, or do you wait until a piece is finished and posted before you add the words to your total?

Just got home from a family reunion, so I'm taking a bit of a break for now. I'm hoping to get a prompt today for a challenge I just entered, in which case, I will start doing some research.

I usually check my word count as I go to see how I am progressing, but I don't record to my spreadsheet until I quit writing for the day. I keep track of words written, even if sometimes they later get edited out in the final posted version.
