With NaNoWriMo (that’s National Novel Writing Month) just a few weeks away, I thought it might be helpful to prepare a little overview of the Word Count tracking available in the Writer’s Database. If you haven’t already used that feature, or if you’re new to the site altogether, this time of year may offer additional reasons to give it a try.
So, here’s a video describing how to use WritersDB to graph your word count for NaNoWriMo. (Or, in fact, for any other writing that you do.)
The following WritersDB updates are better classified as bug fixes than new features.
- Now, when you click a column header in the list of submissions, your sorting preference will be remembered forever—until you change it by clicking a different column header.
- If you search your submissions (for a specific title, market, range of dates, etc.), then sort them, the search filter will no longer be wiped out by the act of sorting.
- Similarly, if you sort, then search, your sorting preference will no longer be reset by the act of searching.
Thanks, KB, for the feedback!
Remaining to-do in this area: Highlight the column header corresponding to your sorting preference. Will do this later. Will sleep now.
And then, back to working on Exciting New Features.
