    That's quite the rate. Are you in the closet, or can you share the pen name/books?

    Thanks. Sent you a PM, but no, I don't share my romance pen names. I sold one of them. Also ran a few romance related book websites in the past. I'm all in on LitRPG now, though. So happy...

    Finished my current WIP today. It was book 2 in my HaremLit series. I have to set it aside for a week or two, so I'll work on some short stores, and my side projects, while mostly concentrating on making files for my books that just came out of KU, so I can start publishing them wide. It's been a year or two since I published anything wide, and I discovered today that the Barnes & Noble process is completely different.

    Nice work. What's HaremLit?

    HaremLit is a story where an Everyman suddenly has an adventure (usually inside a game or on another world) and gathers a "harem" of women who help him. In my case, my HaremLit stories take place within the VR MMORPG Battle for Glory. There are some very popular HaremLit stories in modern day and this world, as well.

    I guess I'll start doing this since I track my daily word counts anyway.

    This month I'll be at the bottom since I just started a new book, and I don't care enough to go back and see what I did each day on the last one. I generally shoot for 2-4k a day. Lately it's been closer to 2 since I'm still getting used to the new story.

    @Jason Maskell I think I might've messed up your formulas when I deleted a few columns in May. I'll try to fix for June if you don't get to it. Thanks again!

    On a quick glance I don't see anything wrong. You fixed it already?

    I just glanced too, but a few of the front sheet cells had a raw number rather than a formula. I was wondering if deleting the columns of non-users messed some of them up somehow? Not a biggie. I'm more worried about WFTD (words for teh day) right now, to be honest. Thanks for everything.

    Ya there's only two formulas on that front page:

    =query(P4:Q25,"select Q,P order by P desc")

    and

    =Transpose(ARRAYFORMULA('May 2018'!B2:p2))

    The first queries the second, which pulls the data from the sheet. Everything's cool as far as I can tell.

    Good to see you writing again, Paul!

    @Carrie Summers continues to crush it as well.

    I'm 48.5k into book 2 now, on track to finish before my June 9th deadline.

    Holy crap, @Paul Bellow - 11.2k? Did you add an extra zero there or did you really step your game up? Kudos, brother.

    Wrote pretty much all day on and off. Back at it today.

    11k in a day means nothing if you don't follow up the next day. Haha.

    Thanks, though. Like I said, I've been slacking since 2016 or so. Time to do it. :)

    It helps I'm really enjoying writing Brute. It's coming out like buttah.

    Going slower today, but still fairly easily. I'm enjoying the story immensely. This is a single POV too, which is helping maybe?

    About to have a dark night of the soul moment ... Fun, fun...
