As 2021 winds down, I hope you had a great writing year! Keeping on track of writing goals is hard enough during non-pandemic times, so hopefully you got some words in 2021!
A key tool I used to keep on top of my writing goals is by keeping track of daily word count. If you’ve been around these parts for a few years, you know I use a souped up Excel spreadsheet to track my word count. 2022 is no different, so I had my Excel whiz update my Word Count Tracker Spreadsheet for 2022 and it’s ready for prime time!
I’ve tested it, and it’s working like a charm. As usual, you can download this Word Count Tracker Spreadsheet for just ten dollars from this link.
I’m using Stripe and new Dropbox Shop this year so the process to order and download the spreadsheet has been nicely automated and should work seamlessly.

What You Get (compatibility without Excel)
What you get…
- One Excel File
- Size: 4.19 MB
- Type: .xlsx
Note: You will Need Excel! This spreadsheet was not developed or tested with Google Sheets, so don’t order it if you use Google Sheets for your spreadsheets. IT WON’T WORK.
Apple Numbers: although not developed for Numbers either, I opened the XLSX and it works well in Numbers even though you’ll get warnings about compatibility issues. It might not look as pretty as in Excel in Numbers, though, so be warned.

I downloaded the 2022 version back in September, and of course, just now had the need to use it. It looks like the formulas for Total Project Word Count on each of the monthly tabs have vanished. I even went back to my zip file and tried from a fresh copy: no formulas.
I still have my 2021 file and I’m going to see if I can update and correct the file from there, but I thought I should let you know, one author to another. I enjoy being able to use this to keep up with my own writing. Thank you for sharing it!
Hi Katherine,
There was an error in that spreadsheet. My apologies! It’s now been fixed. I emailed on January 4th to everyone who has purchased the spreadsheet with the corrected version. If you didn’t get that email, please let me know, and I’ll send it to you. Thanks!
I’m sorry: I guess I didn’t get it! Just to be on the safe side, I double-checked my spam and filtered emails and don’t see it in either place. Sorry! I know it’s probably tied to my Dropbox email, apollymi (at) gmail, since that’s where I got the original download, rather than my publishing one. But I didn’t see it in either mailbox. Again, sorry to be a pain.
