Well, that and showing up drunk to chamber music concerts.<br /><br />Nik,<br />Glad to help.<br /><br />SdP,<br />Yeah. We need blinking lights at the tops of our notebooks. I use pages on the ipad now and have to go to settings and turn word count on bc I don't like it always in front of me. Oh, 250 words today?

I have a Fitbit and when I reach 10,000 steps per day, it buzzes and such to let you know you've reached the daily goal. Additionally, throughout the day, I can tap it and it'll display, via a series of 5 dots, my daily progress. Carry that over to writing. If you have a daily writing goal, or even if you're goal is only to write every single day, celebrate when you've achieved it. It keeps you going.Scott D.

You'll only get into trouble if you let too many people into the process before you're comfortable sharing.
