Should rewriting count towards a word count?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to set myself some 2022 writing goals right now and I've hit a brick wall. I've hand written some rough first drafts of fics this year and plan to rewrite them, polish and post them next year. But I don't know whether rewriting should count towards my word count goal for 2022.

Technically I've already written the stories but they will undoubtedly be undergoing major editing and rewriting as I err more towards the pantser end of the spectrum. So should I count the rewrites in my word count goal? Should I only count new words written? Should I half it, so 1000 words of a rewrite counts as 500 words towards my goal?

Any wisdom, F!S?

Re: Should rewriting count towards a word count?

I find trying to count new words in a rewrite takes more time/effort than just going by time spent (especially if I’m just tweaking sentences rather than adding whole new scenes).

Either setting a time goal like ‘20 mins a day’ or if you prefer having a word goal, you could convert time spent into words.

E.g. if you can write ~1000 words an hour, then 30 mins rewriting/editing would count as 500 words.

My main moods were apparently "melancholy" and "escaping reality" and if that doesn't fit this year I don't know what does.

I listened to 61,717 minutes (more than 95% of US users). The podcast Knowledge Fight accounted for half of that (35,253 minutes).

My top genres are (lol) soundtracks, steampunk, dark folk, post rock, bard. Not sure how accurate those are...who tags the genres on spotify?

My top bands are The Amazing Devil (I was in the top 1% of listeners for this band), The Protomen, Barns Courtney, Ramin Djawadi, Tobias Lilja. My top 5 songs are The Hounds, Reaper Man, Welly Boots, Relove Relax, and 11 b: Unrest in the House of Light.

My moods were wistful and happy, and my top genres were Soul, Soundtrack, Post-Punk, Classic Rock and Dance Pop which I feel is a pretty good spread

I don't think asmr should count towards your top song but apparently I listen to a lot of airplane noises when I sleep. Otherwise my top song should be The Cult of Dionysus by the Orion Experience.

250k minutes. More than 100% of the UK.

Also was in the top 0.0001% of my favourite band, and since they're not massively popular, I'm gonna guess I'm #1. Made my year tbh.

How was your day F!S?

[(Anonymous)]

Good, terrible, fine?

Re: How was your day F!S?

[kaijinscendre]

Well, prepared for over an hour for my phone job interview. Made some prompts for various questions they might have (plus some good questions on my end). Stressed about it all day.

She calls and tells me they had offered the job to someone else on Monday and forgot to call (or email to cancel my interview). Of course I had to politely say it wasn't a problem because I am an adult.

Got my booster shot last night so my whole upper arm is super sore now. But I'm finishing up at work and I got a lot done which is nice. The spouse wants some help dying leather tonight, idk if I have the energy to help with that but we'll find out after dinner.

Re: How was your day F!S?

[philstar22]

Exhausting. Saw a dentist at 7:30, and he said that my tooth is fractured, and I do need a specialist. Then went to work and had 4 client meetings and wrote 1 brief and several long letters for different cases.

I was supposed to go to a networking event this evening, but I have a migraine, so I came home instead.

What are your physical insecurities?

[(Anonymous)]

Can be small things that you feel a bit silly even being insecure about, big stuff, or anything in between.

Conundrum

[(Anonymous)]

Dropping this here before I run off to work, will try and reply tonight!

I have been sorting through some old books that have come from a relative who is no longer with us. There's a collection of Agatha Christies, including 'And then there were none' - with its original title. :|

We have kids in the family, and frankly I don't want this book in the house. It's pretty horrendous to see that word anyway, but definitely not remotely suitable for the kids or their friends to see.

I don't want to destroy it becauseit'sa book, but I also don't think a second hand bookstore will take it.

What do you think FS? What should I do with it?

What do you like about yourself physically?

[(Anonymous)]

Flipside version of an above thread.

I've always liked my shoulders for whatever reason.

Conundrum 2 aka what's your issue tonight?

[(Anonymous)]

Not Author of the First Conundrum

I've found two or three authors from whom to commission fic. The only issue is that...idk what to request! I want some complete id-fic. Shamelessly self-indulgent. However, I'm so used to writing fic for myself, I can't really think up an idea I'd want someone else writing for me. AND there's at least 1 fic I know I want to get fairly filthy about. And I don't know how to quite ask for that lol.
