Some word count statistics on BrainLog, in preparation for NaNoWriMo:

• Number of entries: 1551
• Total words since the beginning: 168,784
• Average words per entry: 108
• Most verbose month: May 2000, 12,828 words
• Least verbose month: February 2001, 398 words (only blogged two days)

Technically, the longest entry is March 23, 2000, at 1125 words, but counting words per entry is actually a bit unfair. Before a certain date, an entire day's worth of posts is stored as one entry.

Keep in mind that to reach 50,000 words in thirty days, I have to average over 1,600 words a day. I'll be shooting for 2,000 words/day with more on weekends, to allow me some editing time near the end, as well as keeping a cushion in case I, say, need to work late one day or something.
