How do people make regular updates for Nanowrimo?? Like y'all here able to know how many word you wrote per day??? That sounds harder than actually writing for me

I'm here like *writes chapter, rewrites chapter, edits chapter, writes next chapter, repeating that process before going back and chaotically rewriting but or deleting and redoing whole sections* and then look at the total word count which changes from 1000 to 20 000 back down to 10 000 and changes all over the place until it's impossible to know how much I wrote precisely, only that the end result is what it is at the end of the week.

TLDR how I write is too chaotic for me to track at this point and the best I can do is give updates on chapters via incoherent screaming while I try not to spoil the plotline by being too excited about it and MAYBE an estimate on the progress which is very subject to change to be more or less.

#nanowrimo #nano 2023 #My writing process is utter chaos #Writing THEN editing?? don't know her we edit WHILE we write by going back and changing our mind on the entire lore halfway through the book #I may be up to chapter 10 and past 30K but how long will that last really until I change my mind?#Or does that also count?#If so I probs have hit the mark by this point lmfao with my 'copy paste' doc where-#I put all the trashed content I may salvage bits out of #I also have days where I leave it and don't worry about it then have a day where I write like 3 chapters in one sitting #writing #writers on tumblr #Idk if this is a shitpost vent or personal update or public announcement at this point #all I know is that organisation doesn't exist in my brain only chaos reigns and we write 10K words that I'll end uo rewriting anyway #Nothing matters and progress is fake in my brain at this point #only the hurt/ comfort and the lore™ matters word count who??
