A widget I’d really like to have: a word-counter
I'm a former assistant editor with advice about how to write novels, comic books and graphic novels. Most of my content applies to fiction-writing in general, but I also provide articles specifically about superhero stories.
The widget would count the words of all articles tagged with the category in question and then display that for readers. “B. Mac has written 12,500 words on ‘Characterization.’” “B. Mac has written 30,000 words on ‘The Superhero Nation Novel.’” If you want to get really fancy (or sadistic, depending on how much you procrastinate), you could add a feature where the word-counter breaks down results by month. “B. Mac has written 0 words on ‘The Superhero Nation Novel’ in September 2008.”
