NaNo Tracker 2015
NaNo Tracker 2014
2014 Words Per Day Spreadsheet
ETA: 11/1/13 And of course there's an error in the formula on day one. The error only affects day one and you won't even notice it unless you enter a starting word count, but I went ahead and fixed it. Future downloads should work the way they're supposed to. :)
NaNoWriMo starts on Friday! Are you ready?
NaNo Tracker 2014
2014 Words Per Day Spreadsheet
ETA: 11/1/13 And of course there's an error in the formula on day one. The error only affects day one and you won't even notice it unless you enter a starting word count, but I went ahead and fixed it. Future downloads should work the way they're supposed to. :)
NaNoWriMo starts on Friday! Are you ready?
In addition to all the outlining I've done, I've created a tracking spreadsheet, and I'd love to share it with all of you. I think it has some pretty cool features, but I did make it myself, so it's possible that's just me patting myself on the back. Go me! ;)
I set it up to be easily changed with just a few minor adjustments.
Depending on your schedule, you can select to write daily, Monday through Friday, or only on the weekends, and it will calculate what you need to write on those days to stay on track. You can also adjust the total goal for the month and it will recalculate the amounts based on that. And if you're using a WIP for NaNo instead of starting at zero, you can enter your starting word count and it will factor that into the totals for the month so you can just enter your WIP total each day.
Plus, it's date driven, so it will highlight the day you should be on and it will let you know your goal for that day. It will also show you if you're on track to meet your monthly goal. :)
Here are some examples to give you an idea of what it will look like as you enter your word count throughout the month. Click the pics to enlarge.

So how do you get a copy for yourself?
You can download it here: http://sdrv.ms/190sFtU
After you click on the link, you will likely get something like this :
Just click OK and then click the appropriate button to open the file.
Internet Explorer:
Firefox:
Chrome automatically downloads the file and displays it in the bottom left corner of your screen. Just click the button and it will open.
Once the file is open, you may need to enable editing. To do this, simply click the yellow Enable Editing button at the top of the spreadsheet. If you don't see this button, you don't need to do anything--you should be good to go.
Don't forget to save your file when you're done. :) Also, Skydrive automatically converts the file to the newest format (xlsx) when uploaded. If you want the 97-2003 format (xls), leave me your email address in the comments or email me by clicking the button under "Email Me" on the left, and I'll send it directly to you. Just FYI, I don't have access to versions of Excel older than 2007, so I'm not sure how making the file 97-2003 compatible will affect the functionality.
The workbook and worksheet are protected to protect the structure and the formulas, but I added a password to this one because I put so much time into it. I'd like to keep my signature on it. I've been over it and tested it several times, but it's still possible I missed something. If you find any issues with it, please let me know and I'll make corrections.
If you want to share it, please do. I just ask that you use this link (http://sdrv.ms/190sFtU) and that you give me credit and link back to my blog.
ETA: If your computer is telling you it can only be downloaded as read-only, you probably need to save it to your computer, close it, and reopen it before it will let you make changes. If all else fails, leave me your email in the comments or click the email button on the left and I'll send it directly to you. Thanks so much for the Blitz, everyone! It's been a fabulous day! :)
Mac Users: Several Mac users have not been able to use the file, either because it won't download or because it's locked. If you can't get it to download, please email me by clicking the button on the left or leave me your email in the comments. I'm happy to send it directly to you. If it's opening in read only, try the instructions found here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/office-files-locked-for-editing-in-mixed/d838b0d7-6b26-4206-b310-029c73cf0ba6. If that doesn't work, let me know what it's doing, what type of error messages you're getting, and I'll try to figure it out.
Any questions, please leave them below.
So, who's participating this year? If you want to add me as a buddy, my profile is here. Or leave your username in the comments and I'll track you down.
Good luck, NaNo-ers! And Happy Monday!!! :)

THAT is really cool! I am not going to participate. November is a bad month for me to write, but that tracker looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThis is definitely cool - though I know that Scrivener has word goal tracking built in so I will probably just use that. I do love spreadsheets though :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've heard a lot of good things about Scrivener. I'll have to check it out. :)
DeleteI love the word count tracking in Scrivener. :-)
DeleteOh gosh, another fancy word count tracker...
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Abby!
See you around during nanowrimo!
(Also, happy blitz day!) ;)
anna
Thanks, Anna! Glad you stopped by! :)
DeleteHello, Abby! This is so cool. Thanks for sharing it with us Nano-ers! I'll buddy you; I'm Sunshine21. See you on November 1!! :)

Thanks, Michelle! :)
DeleteStopping by to wish you a Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, L.G.! :)
DeleteBest of luck with NaNoWriMo, but I'm not sure you'll need luck seeing as you're so organized! Hope you enjoy your Blitz Day! :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I just have the illusion of organization. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteHappy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteFantastic info. I'll keep this in mind if I ever do NaNo. Good luck.
Thanks, Medeia! :)
DeleteGood luck with NaNoWriMo. It's not something I've ever had the confidence to try, but it sounds like you're already ahead of the game anyway. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tim! :)
DeletePlanning is the key to success with such an intense project. It is fabulous that you share your templates. Great things can happen in tiny increments!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll post that on my wall. Great reminder! Thanks, Lee! :)
DeleteSounds like you've got a great way to keep motivated for NaNo. I'm not doing it. Too hard to while working full-time. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I haven't tried for the last couple of years and I'm still working full time, but I decided to give it a go this year. Just feeling crazy, I guess. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteGood luck with NaNo and happy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly! :)
DeleteLove a good spreadsheet, looks fantastic and super helpful haha good job! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, sjp! :)
DeleteI've never been one to be drawn to NaNo...just doesn't fit well with my writing style...but I can see where it can be motivational. Your spreadsheet looks awesome, and if I was a NaNoNite I would totally use it.
ReplyDeleteBTW...you've been BLITZED! :)
Thanks, DL! You're awesome! Totally made my day! :)
DeleteNaNo again? Argh. It surprises me every year! The spreadsheet is awesome, I could probably adapt it to other projects, will just have to study it and see how you did it. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
Thanks, Vicki! I did one earlier this year for tracking words throughout the year (link below). I'll be updating it for next year and incorporating a lot of the features I have in this one. So check back if you're interested. :)

Hi Abby! Great spreadsheet. Love it! I'm a huge spreadsheet fan. I friended you. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with NaNo!
Thanks, Miranda! I friended you too! And good luck to you too! :)
DeleteFancy way to track progress. The year I participated, I just wrote down my word count.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!!
Thanks, Alex! :)
DeleteVery nice spreadsheet. I'll be doing NaNo again this year even though I don't have much free time next month. I just can't miss it! Good luck and have fun. :) My name is Kalligenia on the site, btw.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine! I added you as a buddy. Good luck to you too! :)
Deletethat's a lot of work. Now you just have to write and hit that 50K words. Best of luck and happy Blitz Day!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne! It looks like work, but I love creating spreadsheets, especially when I can make them look pretty. :)
DeleteWow! That looks like a lot of work! I'm gearing up for NaNo, too, and I'll look for you next time I'm on the site.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day! :)
More fun than work, but I guess that's a matter of opinion. ;) Thanks for stopping by, Madeline! :)
DeleteBest of luck to you on your NaNo efforts. Spreadsheet looks nice and should prove useful to participants. Enjoy the blitz.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff! :)
DeleteYou've put a lot of work into that,I'm sure it'll be helpful for people taking part. Good luck and happy blitz day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! :)
DeleteDownloaded it right now! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can use it! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteWhat a great tool! You deserve a big pat on the back. :). If I were doing Nano this year, I'd definitely get it. It seems useful even for non-nanoers. Happy blitz to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! In December, I'll be updating the year round spreadsheet I made earlier this year (link below) to incorporate a lot of the features this one has. Be sure to check back if you're interested. :)
Deletehttp://abbyannis.blogspot.com/2013/05/numerical-motivation-using-spreadsheets.html
Oh wow! This looks great and it's awesome that you're sharing it! I don't think I'm doing NaNo this year, but if I was, I would surely use it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, kmckendry! :)
DeleteThat is a great tool. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LinWash! :)
DeleteI'm planning on doing NaNo this year! I might be using this to track myself. Your spreadsheet is amazingly functional and awesome, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
Lyre @ Lyre's Musings
You're welcome! Glad you can use it. Thanks for stopping by, Amy! :)
DeleteHallo, fellow NaNoer! This is going to be my first year (under R.E. Hargrave). Not expecting to hit 50k, just shake the writing cobwebs lose again ;) Love all your prep work, and so very cool of you to put it out there to share! Happy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, RE! Good luck with your first NaNo! :)
DeleteI'm always so impressed with everyone who does NaNo. I don't think I ever could get that kind of consistent word count every day for a month. But I love to cheer from the sidelines. So good luck!! And Happy Blog Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie! :)
DeleteHappy Blitz!
ReplyDeleteAnd NaNo. I love NaNo. I do not, however, love all the plot bunnies which aren't related to my novel that bite me the week prior. I also love this spread sheet (fingers crossed that this internet cafe will let me download it). I usually use the NaNo website for tracking word count, but that will be hard this year and you sheet looks awesome. Plus, I can use it for all my projects!
Thanks, Gwen! If you're interested in using it for other projects, I did a year round version earlier this year (link below). That one's not at fancy as this one, but I'll be revamping it for next year (probably in December) and including a lot of the features from this one. Be sure to check back if you're interested. :)
Deletehttp://abbyannis.blogspot.com/2013/05/numerical-motivation-using-spreadsheets.html
I tried last year but it was a complete failure. I can't write when I'm 'supposed to' it seems. The more I told myself to write the less I could.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best of luck!
BAZINGA!!!
You've been blitzed!
Have a great day!
Heather
That's what happened to me the one other time I tried, but I'm hoping the extensive outline I have this time (not pantsing this one) will keep me on track. Thanks for stopping by, Heather! :)
DeleteHappy Blitz Day! ☺
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with NaNo! I'm signed up too. Love the spreadsheet! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Dana! :)
DeleteGreat Spreadsheet. I always try and keep it in my head and fail. Have a super fun blitz day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg! :)
DeleteThanks for sharing your spreadsheet! I haven't signed up for NaNo but this might just be the kick in the butt I need. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vicki! And good luck on NaNo, if you decide to do it. :)
DeleteWhat a lovely thing to do for both yourself and to share with others. Nicely done!!! Good luck with NaNo. #Happy Blog Blitz
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! :)
DeleteVisiting for the Blitz. I'm not doing NaNo but your spreadsheet looks pretty cool, very clever.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
Thanks, Suzanne! :)
DeleteYou're an Excel wizard! Downloaded your spreadsheet and it's fantastic. I didn't sign up for NaNo but this tool will still be extremely useful to keep me on track. The only thing I would like to do is modify the number of writing days myself since I'm not tied to a 30-day window, but I see that your formula is based on this writing window. Nevertheless, awesome spreadsheet. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne! I created a year long version earlier this year. You can access it here: http://abbyannis.blogspot.com/2013/05/numerical-motivation-using-spreadsheets.html It's not as fancy as this one, but I'll be doing a revamped version for next year and I'll be incorporating a lot of the features I've included in the NaNo Tracker, so be sure to check back if you're interested. I'll probably post it in late December. :)
DeleteHi, Stopping by for the blog blitz. Have not done NaNo. Enjoy your blitz day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marilyn! :)
DeleteHappy Blitz day!
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing NaNo this year, but I might see if this is useful for word tracking on other things=)
Thanks, Kathleen! :)
DeleteI'm stopping by to say hi during the blog blitz. I'm very impressed with your spread sheet! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanie! :)
DeleteThat looks like it took a lot of work! It is wonderful looking.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day
Thanks, John! For me, it's actually more like working on a fun art project than actual work. :)
DeleteHappy Blitz day! Gorgeous website, btw. I'm SO not ready for NaNoWriMo, and you are WAY too organized. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! I really wish I was as organized as everyone thinks I am. I just like to make fancy spreadsheets. It gives the illusion of organization. ;)
DeleteI'm not doing NaNo but I am working on the Wendig Challenge (via Chuck Wendig's website) on writing 350 words a day, 5 days a week and by the end of a year, I've got a 1st draft. I've knocked together a spreadsheet that sort of does what yours does, but it doesn't look as flash!
ReplyDeleteHi, Daddy! That challenge sounds much more practical. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI did Camp Nano this summer--Was a blast. Good luck with it, and happy Blitz Day!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! :)
DeleteYou got my respect at spreadsheet. I can't even find my printer paper, much less work out a spread sheet!
ReplyDeleteHappy blitz!
Thanks, Elizabeth! :)
DeleteGreat blog and awesome spreadsheet! I will be sharing with NaNo-ers. I'm not sure I will be able to pull it off this year, but I had great success with it last year :-) HAPPY BLITZ DAY! Followed you on twitter, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina! Good luck with NaNo! :)
DeleteWow! Colorful and inspiring. I won't be doing NaNo this year, but I think this is something that could be used for any writing project.
ReplyDeleteAnd just in case you don't know it... you have been BLITZED!
Thanks, Bish! :)
DeleteHi, Abby, and Happy Blitz Day!! This is an awesome tool, I'm not doing NaNo this year but I wish I would have had this last year.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in November!
Thanks, Julie! :)
DeleteWow this is really cool! Nice to meet you! Happy Blitz day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dani! Nice to meet you too! :)
DeletePretty cool! I decided not to do NaNo, but it is something that is on my bucket list. Hope you get lots of responses in this Blitz!
ReplyDeleteThanks, #1Nana! :)
DeleteThanks Abby - great fun :) This look great to use for non NaNo months too. Good luck with your Nano. And why is everyone saying happy Blitz Day? Have I missed something?!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to buddy for nano you can find me at Dominic de Mattos
Hi, Dominic!
DeleteMore info on the blitz here: http://dlcruisingaltitude.blogspot.com/2013/03/blog-blitz-wanna-join.html Today was just my lucky day!
Good luck to you too! I buddy'd you over there. :)
Good luck with NaNo! And happy blitz!
ReplyDeleteThanks, M! :)
DeleteHow ya feeling? A little woozy, maybe? That's perfectly natural for someone who's getting blitzed all day... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the NaNo. Looks like you're going in with guns blazing... okay, so no gun... but with spreadsheet at the ready.
Nice to meetcha.
It's been kind of a whirlwind day. Perfect day to get blitzed. Thanks for stopping by, Susan! Nice to meet you too! :)
DeleteHappy Blitz Day!!! I am so excited for NaNo. I'm doing last-minute story planning all week :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Julie! I'm doing last minute story planning too. I've never been a plotter, but I forced myself to plot this one and I'm thinking I might be converted. Thanks for stopping by! And good luck with NaNo! :)
DeleteHappy Blitz day, Abby--and all the best with NaNo! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colin! :)
DeleteWow!! That is alot of work!! Very nice, I am not there yet with my writing, but one day! Today as your probably aware is Blitz Day!! Happy Blitz Day!! Good work with your spread sheet! Sandy sandysanderellasmusings.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy! :)
DeleteThat's a pretty awesome tracker! If I were participating this year, that would be a done deal. Super awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, happy blitz day, and here's wishing you much success with NaNo!
Thanks, Crystal! :)
DeleteHave a great time with NaNo! Slay it! And happy blitz :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, M! :)
DeleteWoo! Happy Blitz day! I am also a huge fan of having awesome nano trackers, even if there's no nano for me this year
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! Good to see you here. :)
DeleteGood luck on Nano and happy Blitz day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! :)
DeleteWow. I am definitely impressed. And that's not just you patting yourself on the back - you did a great job! I'm not doing NaNo this year per say, since I've started a novel already, but I plan on using your spreadsheet to keep me motivated with my own goals. It's hard to keep motivated with writing when all my other things get in the way (kiddo, blog designing, laundry, etc.) Thank you so much for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to track, I don't think I have enough in me to keep of with the writing until 2014... best to you and the NaNo.

ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
Go, Abby, Go! And Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat sheet- I spent an entire day the other day looking up NaNo spreadsheets and worksheets. There is so much wonderful stuff out there.
ReplyDeleteHappy blitz day!
Wow, that is a great worksheet. I made one, but it's not nearly as fancy as yours. Thanks for sharing and Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteCool spreadsheet. I couldn't use it. My program said I could only open it in read only. :-( It will be an awesome tool for those who can. Nice of you to share. Happy Blitz Day!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!! You're amazing!! I'm doing a NaNo bloghop if you'd like to join :D
ReplyDeleteI'm doing NaNo and would love to use your spreadsheet. Unfortunately (probably something I'm doing wrong, or might be that I'm on a Mac) I wasn't able to download. But it looks beautiful and you've clearly put in a ton of work. Good luck with NaNo. What is your project and genre?
ReplyDeleteOh, and happy blitz day!
You are so prepared I'm sure you will succeed at NaNo. Not participating thus year, but I do live the experience I've had in the past. Good luck and Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks great! I can't wait for NaNo on Friday, I just want to get writing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Blitz :)
Well, I wouldn't say that I'm ready for NaNo, but I'm not any worse off than previous years. So at least there's that. Happy NaNo-ing.
ReplyDelete(Hello from the Blitz!)
Good luck with NaNo! Seems like you're well prepared! Oh, and Happy Blitz!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing NaNo too. My first year, so I'm very excited about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing NaNo too this year. I may use this to help me keep track of all my words. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh. And happy BLITZER:)
Wow! That's impressive! Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteAND...HAPPY BLITZ DAY!
ReplyDeleteOMG, another organizer among us. Looks wonderful. Now if you could just organize my whole day! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Abby, thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cool--thanks for sharing! Good luck with NaNo, and Happy Blitz day! :)
ReplyDeleteHi there. Happy Blitz Day! What a wonderful, helpful post. I've sent it to G+ and tweeted it. Love you blog design too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tool! I just wish I could do NaNo this year, but with a book coming out in a few weeks, I just can't find the time.
ReplyDeleteAh well, next year. I hope you make it to the 50K!
Happy Blitz day!
Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteHa! This is the coolest thing, this spreadsheet. I am gonna tweet the heckz outta it!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Nano tool - and happy blitz day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fantastic tool--so useful. I'm tweeting it as soon as I close this comment window! Happy blitz day, so glad I came by. PS I'm a big Marianne Williamson fan, too! Have you read The Law of Divine Compensation? So wonderful. faith@pentozen.com
ReplyDeleteCool blog Abby, I'm so glad I discovered you via Blog Blitz. Thanks for the spreadsheet, I will be using it - love the colour scheme you chose.
ReplyDeleteWhat a providential day for DL Hammons to order a blog blitz ... I love the spreadsheet! I'm doing NaNo this year, as well, and this is such a cool way to track.
ReplyDeleteLove the blog, Abby, and Happy Blitz Day!
thanks for the spreadsheet. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteWow, so cool! I love it Abby-thank you~
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day and thank you for the spreadsheet!
YOU are so inspiring!
What a great idea, Abby. I have a friend that loves all things spread sheet. I'm not really savvy on them but this seems fairly simple for a non excel sorta gal. Huh. I'm going to give it a try and see how it works or if it works on my computer. I know I have some excel things on my computer but I'm not sure if I have the program...
ReplyDeleteI've used excel a few years ago when I was working for a particular company but putting them together and making them work for me is...well not always easy.
I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
Sia McKye Over Coffee
It worked! Simple, even for me! Yay!
DeleteGood luck with NaNo. I've never done it. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteAwesome spreadsheets. I've been on the fence about participating in NaNo this year. I've never done it, but would love to give it a try. However, I promised myself I wouldn't sign up if I didn't have a complete outline finished before the challenge...it's not looking really good right now so I'll most likely cheer you guys on from the sidelines. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I have loved about these blittzes is discovering these worlds of writing and creativity out there. But yours is the first to expose me to a spreadsheet! Much of what you said was unfamiliar to me but I like throwing out words like NaNo and WriMo to my even more clueless friends. Good luck on all of that.
ReplyDeleteHelp! Love this but my computer is refusing to let me use it. It's asking for a password. Can you help me?

ReplyDeleteWell deserved Blitz Day.

Amazing tool!!! I will study it more closely and maybe do something like that for my NaNo team. Me and my daughters. :) Happy blitz day! With great respect! A.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for NaNo, you certainly are organized! Best of luck and happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteGo you! I love it when the math brain and the creative brain collide. :) If I was doing NaNo, I'd totally download this.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
Hi, Abby! Nice blog. That spreadsheet is pretty cool. I'm not doing NaNo this year, but if I was I'd definitely use your spreadsheet. HAPPY BLITZ DAY!
ReplyDeleteLove your spreadsheet savy. Good luck with NaNo. Happy Blog Blitz!
ReplyDeleteYou're so prepared! Good luck with NaNo!
ReplyDeleteHi Abby. Happy Blitz Day! That NaNo tracker is awesome. I'm doing this NaNo this year and it will be a great tool. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletep.s. you can find me as Ellie Garratt on the NaNoWriMo site.
What a great concept! Good for you and how wonderful that you're sharing it! Good luck with NaNo!
ReplyDeleteHappy blitz day!
Fantastic and useful info. I forwarded it on yesterday to my daughter who is doing NaNoWriMo and came back today to say Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteNice resource! Good luck with NaNo and happy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteWow! A gift with the blitz! How sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome idea! This is my first year doing NaNo, and I'm really excited to get started! Happy blitz day! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous gift! I'm in for nanowrmo as well, and will use this at home. :) Good luck with your book in Nano, and happy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteHi,my first year joining NaNoWriMo, so thanks for the spreadsheet idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy blitz day :)

Happy Blitz Day and good luck.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing NaNo too as a first time participant. Good luck reaching the goal of 50k. Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteThough I don't do Nano, that spreadsheet looks tempting! Happy Blitz day :)
ReplyDeleteTalk about organized! Happy Blitz Day and good luck :)
ReplyDeleteWOW how nice of you to share, Have fun. Happy Blitze day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Abby. I'm going to give it whirl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day Abbey! I bet you weren't expecting it.
ReplyDeleteThis is impressive. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've done and won NaNo twice, and it was an awesome experience. Very freeing. It taught me to just get it all out there and revise LATER.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!

You've made quite a handy tutorial there for NaNoWriMo! I don't have the same level of experience with spreadsheets and would totally find your scheduling solution to be very useful if I were participating in NaNoWriMo. The last time I was able to calculate stuff on a spreadsheet was years ago and I don't remember how to do it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI've done NaBloPoMo a few times but haven't tackled any of the other ones, although I considered doing the one for screenplays.

P.S.
Consider yourself Blitzed :)
And yes, I stopped by from the Blitz too :D
ReplyDeleteWow that's so creative! Great tool! Good luck with NaNoWriMo and happy blitz day!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very impressive, Abby. Great work. Thanks for sharing it. Hope you enjoy your blitz. God bless, Maria Dunn
ReplyDeleteYou have been officially Blitzed!!! And I'm doing NaNo too. Good luck to you and hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteHi Abby! That is an amazing spreadsheet! Definitely going to download if that's OK! You definitely deserve one heck of a blitzing! Happy Blog Blitz Day to you!! Lily
ReplyDeleteWow! Super impressed you created that. I'm still deciding on NaNo (I need to figure it out pretty dang quick!) but if I do it, I'll be using this spreadsheet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen! Nice to "meet" you too! :)
ReplyDeleteI might not be 100% ready, but I'll certainly provide a pat on the back for the tracker spreadsheet! I know it'll help me since we'll be moving beginning of November!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day, and happy NaNoing!!!
Hi, Abby,
ReplyDeleteHave fun with NaNo. Got some published books out of it, but haven't managed to 'win' in my last few attempts. :(
Looks like you're all set up for some serious writing Abby!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz Day!
