TWO GREEN BARS. 1778 words. I guess all I needed was a good grandfatherly rant about the economy to pad it out for today.

Woot! I swear those two green bars are going to start haunting me in my dreams, demanding I fill them the moment they empty at midnight. Brutal taskmasters, they are.

Hm... where exactly are these green bars exactly?

[JanusTwoface]

Green bars? (ppe: ninja'd!)

So far I've been holding to 2000 words/day, although at this point I have no idea where I'm going next. Discovery writing can be ... interesting. November snuck up on me and I quite literally started with a title and the first sentence and went from there.

I think the green bars are on the Stats page. One on the left, for completing your words/day. One on the graph, for being overall at par. I've only seen the first though, so I'm waiting for someone more informed too.

EDIT: Maybe it's the first and the average words/day on the left also being at/above par.

[monk12]

Yes, it's the "Average words per day" and "Words written today" bars, which when both green means you are ahead of the game and have also done all the writing you need to do for the day.

Mine are both blue. /sadface

[inEQUALITY]

Those things on the left side of the stats page: Your Average Per Day and Words Written Today. They're blue until you hit a certain amount.

The number of people who didn't know shows you how well Bay 12 is doing.

Me included. I'm hoping to hit par today, though.

[JanusTwoface]

My problem is I tend to write in the evening Pacific time. So I'm always entering the previous day's count. Yay timezones!

Or you could use this: widgets



(There are a bunch of other options)

Theoretically, it should update dynamically, depending on when your browser and possibly the forum (although I doubt it) caches images.

OP, is there any chance you'd want to pull in a bunch of these for anyone participating that doesn't mind? That'd be kind of cool looking.

I get home from work no earlier than 6PM, and I need to be in bed by 1AM or I'll be knackered the whole day.  I've pulled near-all-nighters for writing before, so I'm no stranger to staying up til 4AM on a weeknight, but I obviously can't make a habit of it.  I've discovered that I have an average writing speed of about 500 words an hour.  With basically the whole story left to go, that means I'd have to keep up an average of four hours a day.  I can get a little bit of writing done at work, but no more than a thousand or two words a week, mostly in the form of editing.

The simple fact is that I can only count on six hours of free time on weeknights, and I can never rely on my weekends being completely free.  And there's only three of them left.  Even with a holiday coming up, I just don't see myself devoting two-thirds of my free time to any one project for the next twenty five days straight.

Uhg.

I actually prefer the info from the stats section to any sets of info available through widgets, but widgets are cool too.
I don't get what some of the colors on mine mean though.

[Doomblade187]

Green means you met the daily mark.

[inEQUALITY]

Somehow 20% sounds better to me than 1/5 the way done. I like it.

EDIT: To reiterate, my name on NaNoWriMo is HiddenTruth. It's a name I've used in a small handful of other places.
