Accountability, author's timecard, word count written, feeling lonely out there?

I've been revising this last couple of months; which in some ways is much harder to measure than writing new, because the wordcount doesn't go up in a nice linear progression.
I have however finally got the whole nest of vipers untangle, lined up, and pointing in the same direction for the new project, so go consistent plot; will be going back to it soon as I am finished the revisions on the thing I am now revising.

11 PM. Wrote about 1700 words today. Would've liked a little more production, but not bad. I was really happy to see one of my characters just come to life. I'd had her concept in mind but hadn't actually written any scenes with her in them till tonight. I was stoked because she just came to life on the page. I really hit one of those awesome moments where I felt like I wasn't writing or crafting, but just recording the events as they unfolded.
About to call it a night, as far as writing goes. But I've still got at least an hour of reading. Then once I'm done reading I've got to write down what I've learned in my work journal. Lately I'm trying to really dissect the works that I read by taking notes and writing down what I've learned in my work journal. It is a little taxing, and takes some of the relaxation out of reading. But hopefully it'll help with my development as a writer in the long run.

Just started writing again last week after months away. Starting a new project, which is really just my old story post-facelift and I need a thread like this. Only have 1100 words so far because I've run into problem after problem with minor plot devices. Solved one tonight by replacing a few hundred words, but didn't get to write much new material before midnight rolled around.

Arrrg! The web just ate my reply.
Short form,
One Serial done, last episode goes live July 1.
Two novels ready to pitch at Nasfic.
Two "power points" to get ready for panels at Nasfic.
A YA novel is blocked out about Teens in a NM Hs learning magic. Writing starts mid July.
A "Sorcery and Six guns" is blocked out and will be written at the same time.
Yeah I know it is weird, but two novels at a time, seems to work for us.
It is like popcorn, no one I know pops one kernel at a time, writing is the same, with as much as three years from start to finish, for any given project, you need to keep the pipeline full. (Grin)
Regards,
Kevin
