I’m a writer, so obviously, I’m a word person. But I’ve discovered, I’m also a numbers person. Seeing my word count keeps me going. So if you’re having trouble with your writing, it may not be writers block. Perhaps you just need to feel you’re making progress.

I keep track of how many words I’ve written on a piece of paper next to the keyboard, or in an open notepad file.  I don’t know where I picked up this tip, but every 10 minutes or so, I do a word count check and write down how many words I’ve added. Seeing those numbers works more than seeing words on the page. Give it a try.
