Well, in my case, I just finished a fic in a new month when I worked seriously hard on it the month before. Because I only count what I actually finished that month, I'd only get to count maybe 200 words of finishing off and editing :|

It's more than simply accomplishments? I'm trying to keep track of how much I'm writing to make it easier for the end of year round up. I want to keep track of the variances (length, genre, how much original I'm doing, etc) so I can fix the issues.

This is deceptive XD At least half of what I read were comics, and of those comics, The Absolute Sandman 1 was the only one which wasn't a quick read. What wasn't comics was audio books which can be listened to at all times of the day or while working. The rest were rather short. Botchan, Last Night At The Lobster, The Cement Garden and The Tombs of Atuan were all under 200 pages. I have a thing for novellas at the moment. They're kind of an obsession, possibly because of how sparse and pristine they are when done right -- and because under 200 pages seems a doable goal for writing my own novel.

Huh. I need to post my thoughts on the books. I keep meaning to start up the sorta-of-review post, but I keep slacking off on it.
