I have just discovered an amazing website that allows you to track (and plan!) your word count in a very efficient way; and it is free! Ever since I finished Nanowrimo I have struggled to write in an orderly manner. I have bouts of writing but then daily life takes over and it is difficult to set time aside… This tool helps you plan how much you want to write within a set period of time (of your own choosing) and it allows you to track your progress (and you even have the option to share it with friends for a bit of social pressure!).
You can find this tool here
