What's the deal with writers posting daily word counts on Facebook or other social media? I've seen this done quite a bit, but not usually from some of the bigger writers I am friends with or follow, but sometimes they will post an impressive word count, and it's exciting to know they have something new in the works. But then there are other writers, posting really low word counts and doing it regularly. I don't get it. Am I supposed to like that they wrote 350 words? Isn't that the length of an email? I'm not saying anything is wrong with having low word-count goals. It is great to reach any writing goal we set for ourselves. But is it worth posting about on Facebook?
I get the urge to tell everyone you are actually writing and working hard, but I'm starting to see this more and more. What do you guys think about this? Do you post your word counts on social media? Why do you do it? Or is it something that annoys you to see in your newsfeed, especially if the same writer(s) post about it all the time.
