Daily Words In English

I've used the exercise as a great way to think out loud without having to worry about half-formed ideas, random tangents, private stuff, and all the other things in our heads that we often filter out before ever voicing them or writing about them. It's a daily brain dump. Over time, I've found that it's also very helpful as a tool to get thoughts going that have become stuck, or to help get to the bottom of a rotten mood.


I've tried writing my 750 words a day on Livejournal, Wordpress, PBWorks, Tumblr, and all of these other sites designed around putting content online. It hasn't worked for me. I fear that I might accidentally forget to mark daily pages as private. And it's just weird having my private brain dumps out on various sites that are designed to be more social. I don't need to title my entries, or tag them, or enable comments, or any of that other stuff. This is writing, and it's online, but it's not blogging, or Twittering, or Facebook status updating. This is between you and you.

I looked this up. 250 words per page is considered to be the standard accepted number of words per page. So, three standard pages are about 750 words. Of course if 750words.com hadn't been available, I would've totally found a way to prove that 249 words per page was the accepted standard. It really just comes down to the fact that this amount of writing feels about right. You can't just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit... 750 words takes a bit of effort, and it never fails to get me typing things that I have wanted to articulate without realizing it. And that's the point.


Because 750 words is nothing to sneeze at, it's also nice to have an easy way to know how many words you have to go. This site of course tracks your word count at all times and lets you know when you've passed the blessed 750 mark. And it gives you a nice big screen to write on, automatically scrolls as you write (like a typewriter), and automatically saves your writing as you go.


Every month you get a clean slate. If you write anything at all, you get 1 point. If you write 750 words or more, you get 2 points. If you write two, three or more days in a row, you get even more points. It's fun to try to stay on streaks and the points are a way to play around with that. You can also see how others are doing points-wise if you're at all competitive that way. How I see it, points can motivate early on, and eventually the joy of writing will kick in and you'll be writing without any external motivation at all.


I have been using Obsidian for a few months now to take notes. I am now at a point that have started writing a manuscript and I would love to be able to track my daily word count so as to know whether I am on track to meet my goals. The thing is that I usually write across various different files at a given time, so it's a bit hard to manually keep track of how much I have really "done" in a day. Penny for your thoughts?






Hello everyone, I've been using Anki for quite a while now, and it helped me a lot with retaining information I learned a long time ago. Recently I imported a shared deck to Anki and set the daily new card limit to 5. From time to time I noticed that I'm not able to get ahead of my Anki cards anymore. It seems like there are more and more cards that I have to review up to the point that I have just about 300 cards per day for review.


Not only do these common words expand the English terminology that you know, but they also help you with your English conversation skills since they are indeed words that you hear others use everyday.




Three little words carry so much weight. They build and nurture relationships. There is a safe space in the room, in the air, when the words linger for just a moment. It also gives us (and our kids) the ability to be vulnerable. To not expect anything in return, except to consider what was said to them, especially when it comes from the heart. It is important for me to role model how to safely and in a purposeful way express love. I create a safe space for them to share their words, their feelings in a meaningful way, and why it matters. I too am learning or rather relearning how powerful these words can be. After I put them to bed, not always, but sometimes, I think about my childhood and my interactions with my caregivers.


Thank you! I am just getting the hang of Scrivener and I saw on a authortube that someone was able to track their daily writing, so I googled tracking daily wordcount on Scrivener and found you. I have set in the numbers and now it is all so much more palpable.


If I was going to boost my output (or know how long it took me to actually write a freaking novel), I had to know what I was outputting in the first place. So, I started keeping records. Every day I had a writing session I would note the time I started, the time I stopped, how many words I wrote, and where I was writing on a spreadsheet. I did this for two months, and then I looked for patterns.


Several things were immediately clear. First, my productivity was at its highest when I was in a place other than my home. That is to say, a place without internet. The afternoons I wrote at the coffee shop with no wireless were twice as productive as the mornings I wrote at home. I also saw that, while butt in chair time is the root of all writing, not all butt in chair time is equal. For example, those days where I only got one hour to write I never managed more than five hundred words in that hour. By contrast, those days I got five hours of solid writing I was clearing close to 1500 words an hour. The numbers were clear: the longer I wrote, the faster I wrote (and I believe the better I wrote, certainly the writing got easier the longer I went). This corresponding rise of wordcount and writing hours only worked up to a point, though. There was a definite words per hour drop off around hour 7 when I was simply too brain fried to go on.


This discovery turned out to be a fantastic one for my writing. I trashed and rewrote several otherwise perfectly good scenes, and the effect on the novel was amazing. Plus, my daily wordcount numbers shot up again because I was always excited about my work. Double bonus!


Rachel Aaron is the author of The Legend of Eli Monpress, an adventure fantasy series staring a dangerously charming wizard thief published by Orbit Books, starting with The Spirit Thief, available now at bookstores everywhere! She writes about writing productivity, including her insane daily word counts, on her blog.


Logan and her colleagues randomly selected 30 books from both lists and counted how many words were in each book. They found that board books contained an average of 140 words, while picture books contained an average of 228 words.


With that information, the researchers calculated how many words a child would hear from birth through his or her 5th birthday at different levels of reading. They assumed that kids would be read board books through their 3rd birthday and picture books the next two years, and that every reading session (except for one category) would include one book.


A controversial 1992 study suggested that children growing up in poverty hear about 30 million fewer words in conversation by age 3 than those from more privileged backgrounds. Other studies since then suggest this 30 million word gap may be much smaller or even non-existent, Logan said.


The English language has been known, through the ages, for its rich vocabulary. It would probably be the language that consists of more words than any other world language. Mastering the English language is never an impossible task if you are determined to do it. All you have to do is practice regularly.

Is the daily word count goal a savior or a tyrant? A magical solution to the problem of not writing consistently, or a cruel master? Their answers vary, but in each of them, we find a kernel of something that can help any and all of us get our work done.


Award-winning historian and biographer Andrea Wulf tried the word count process, but found it restrictive. Plus, how to count the words that end up at the bitter end of the delete key?


With a new Wordle added every day, players may need a little help with the more difficult words, and having a strong starting word is important.

Whatever the reason, players can find every daily Wordle answer used so far in 2023 below.


In the past 6 months, I've written 50,000 words on one of my writing projects. I've also finished 12 blog posts (and drafted several more), spent a month writing three longhand pages every morning, and written or revised a couple academic papers.
