Final Counts

I do a count every year of how many books I write, the number of pages and the total wordcount. Here is 2021 in a heap: 5 novels, 955 pages, and 288,913 words. That's not including what I write for the blog or the free short stories I post; I count only what I get paid to write.

I used to save one hard copy of every book I wrote, but now I just store them digitally. I also usually shred the editing printouts of my books (the heap here), but this year I'm going to recycle them by printing on the blank side.

I pitched another 5 novels for 2022 and got the green light for them, so once I write up all the outlines I'll begin work on book one. I'm going to stick to my current process of split sessioning in hopes of continuing my productive streak from last year.
