This page summarizes my monthly and yearly wordage, as well as linking to my stories from each year. Note that not all composed stories have yet been published, so they will not all appear on the linked pages.
I prepared this information for my own reference, to help me keep track of how well I was progressing in my writing, and to allow me to analyze which activities helped or hindered my work productivity. I'm sharing the information here because I thought it might be of interest to other writers, and perhaps to readers as well.
