With the rapid arrival of NaNoWriMo 2018, and my (perhaps ill-gotten) decision to make The King's Son my NaNo novel instead of continuing on with The Talented sequel, I needed a way to track all of my writing for the month.
To do this, I fought a bitter battle with Microsoft Excel, further complicated by the fact that I should have bought a new computer years ago, so every move I do on Excel has a serious lag. I'm far from an Excel aficionado, to the point where I wouldn't even lie about it on a resumé and hope to cram in the skills before I started, but I managed to come up with some simple graphs and equations to chart my goals and actual progress for the month in this handy little spreadsheet.

So far, having a visual representation of what I have done and what I need to do is really helping me to organize and track my writing goals for the month.
So my question is, what do you do to keep yourselves on track and writing?
