How to share your current word count

To have your word count reflected in the collective total word count, you may do one of two things

  • Become Buddies with library novelist on the NaNoWriMo website. The current word count of all buddies will be verified each Monday.
  • Email your current word count to Briana.Knox@unt.edu once per week. You may send the email at any time during the week, but it will not be reflected in the collective word count until Monday.

Write-in word counts will be collected during the events. These numbers will just reflect our collective progress during the course of each write-in event.
