Metrics, Day 1
Oct. 1st, 2012 07:18 pmStart: 117/196 pages, 72,451/121,601 words
End: 120/198 pages, 74,552/122,332 words
I'm working out of a word file that started with all of my first draft (draft 0, since it's really less of a draft and more of a vomiting) and deleting as I rewrite it, so the half behind the slashy in the metrics is the current page count / word count. It's also the approximate end goal, although, as can be seen in the change in page numbers alone, not always accurate. But it usually balances out - I'm fairly certain I have a few pages of scene I'll get to wholesale delete soon and I'm still (relatively) certain my overall word count won't surpass 130k. At least, it better not.
