NaNoWriMo update
I’m way, way behind on my NaNoWriMo effort. I should be at around 30,000 – but I’ve barely managed 20,000. Tomorrow will be the make or break point… we’ll see.
To encourage myself (or just to waste some time), I’ve put my text through an analyser at http://www.online-utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsp.
My novel has a readability level of 10.25. That’s great! Puts me between Newsweek and the New York Times (which I guess is a UK level of something like the Guardian’s wordier bits).
Also starting a new project with a friend at http://www.99wds.com. More details later.
Some more stats:
| Number of characters (without spaces) : | 86,135.00 |
| Number of words : | 20,320.00 |
| Number of sentences : | 1,087.00 |
| Average number of characters per word : | 4.24 |
| Average number of syllables per word : | 1.42 |
| Average number of words per sentence: | 18.69 |
