What motivates you to write?
Honestly so many things. Kudos, comments, and the thought that I may eventually be published. But the most accessible motivation I have right now is my Excel spreadsheet. I've tried the tracking apps and add-ons before, but I can't be as consistent as the apps want me to be, so I end up with large sections left blank. With my own spreadsheet, I can delete the void data from days I didn't write anything, leaving us with the line graph above.
I input all the information, and usually work out the blue line values by getting a word count for my entire document, and subtracting the value I last inputted. It's ridiculously simple and I would recommend it to everyone tbh. You can do it by one-shot word count (as I've done here), by single chapter, multi-chapter, series, or any combination really.
Unfortunately, my stats don't have time spent represented in the graphs yet. I'm tempted to include it with my next set of stats though, as I usually redraft and edit my fics a bit before I do anything with them. For example, the count in the middle of about 100 words actually took a good hour or so, but the count is lower because I spent it deleting and rephrasing stuff.
But yeah. My motivation to do anything right now is statistics and graphs, because food, reward, and sleep no longer work :') Does anyone else do this? I feel like it's pretty useful but IDK how widely used this is haha

I like to imagine that because Jason came to Bruce post-Dick (he was older and had experience being a caretaker) but pre-trauma of losing a son, he got Bruce at his Most Competent Dad form, and so his experience with Bruce as a father (pre-death) is noticeably different from the other kids

i've mentioned here and there that i made a relationships/dynamic spreadsheet. i have finally put it to use. look on my Works, ye mighty, and despair.
-extra note: i am not omniscient and i cannot watch every stream. i may have missed a sibling declaration or two.
-extra extra note: i currently speak only english and used google translate for the rest. if theres a translation error I'd love to know- i wont be able to go back and fix these, but im always so curious about how accurate google translate can be
extra extra note pt 2: do. do other languages use guardian as in "legal guardian" as in "not a family member but still Primary Caregiver of child" because i am suddenly aware those translations might not be correct. on the other hand tho if google translate decided that the parents are guarding warriors of the eggs im not going to argue

I kinda hate how dead Half Life/HLVRAI tumblr rp is. :(
Then again I may just not have found those people yet. Wanted to rp Half Life on here, but yeah, couldn't find any active accounts.
Anyway, if you come across this and you'd like to rp Half Life or HLVRAI on discord, you can send me a message, and I'll check you out. :>
As long as you're a pretty decent person who won't ask anything illegal of me, I wouldn't be opposed.
I'm also A-Okay with OC's.

Still waiting for Spotify and YouTube to update their charts later today but Google has already come through with some beautiful data for a certain eclipse themed song we all know and love during the total solar eclipse we had in the USA on Monday, April 8, 2024...
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%201-d&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F1q5jzj36p,%2Fg%2F1q5j2__98,%2Fg%2F11bzvv1522,%2Fm%2F01qdc_p&hl=en
Look at the time of peak searches. And also note the path of searches on the map...
Map - http://www.nationaleclipse.com
So then I decided to compare with a few top eclipse anthem contenders to see who won the battle. Bonnie blew them all away.
Dark Side of the Moon came in #2 in comparison, followed by #3 Black Hole Sun and #4 Here Comes the Sun. None of them really dominated any city on the map over Bonnie.
Other potential eclipse anthems I checked that rated lower than the Beatles to the 4 listed above: Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, Steal My Sunshine by Len, Total Eclipse by Iron Maiden, Dark of the Sun by Tom Petty, Promises in the Dark by Pat Benetar, Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, Blinded by the Light cover by Bruce Springsteen (would be #5, this version was also more popular than the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version), Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Bill Withers and the individual song Eclipse by Pink Floyd specifically (the album ranked higher). I'm sure I'm missing some but these were at the top of multiple eclipse themed playlists I consulted.
I'm also not sure exactly how many searches this graph corresponds to yet, but I'm sure we'll get recap articles that might have numbers. From a different Google data product, it looks like over 200k searches were done for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Sunday, April 7th alone, the day before (still less than "how to make eclipse glasses" LOL).
Looking forward to Spotify's data. 🌞
Also fun to look at: comparing searches for this song over time with total US eclipses. Possible spikes due to eclipse interest would be 2012 (annular) and 2017 (total) but the 2023 (annular) barely registered. The other spikes may be due to Bonnie performing it on TV (2005) and the TV show Glee covering it (2010).
I'll look at this more later.
But just for fun too, if you've never seen it, check out the Literal lyrics version for the original music video (it was insane, even for the 80's) https://youtu.be/fsgWUq0fdKk?si=CRXE_Zd86GpZa1yG

Data Visualization Basics
Bar chart, pie chart, scatter plot, line chart, area chart; what are you going to use to visualize your data? In this post, I'm going to talk about different types of data visualizations, and when each is well suited for your purposes.
Bar Chart
Bar charts are good for showing basic size comparisons, especially among large numbers of objects. The length of the bar indicates the size of your statistic. As with all types of charts, the length of each bar should correspond mathematically to the data it represents. In other words, good data visualization is not just eyeballed; it's measured.
Pie Chart
Pie charts are good for showing the comparisons of how a certain piece of data breaks down into different groups. You use pie charts when the sum of all the parts adds up to 100%. There are many variations of pie charts out there, including donut charts, which are essentially pies with holes. The danger with pie charts is at a certain point, it's difficult for the human eye to compare the differences in the angles of the pie. They work great for large, obvious comparisons, but not as great for more subtle ones
Scatter Plot
Scatter plots are what you used to do in math class. You have two axes; vertical, and horizontal, and you draw a point where your piece of data appears at both axes. When you draw many points of data, you can achieve a scatter effect, and use it to spot trends. These are effective graphs if you're trying to illustrate a trend among an enormous set of data.
Line Graph
Line graphs are essentially scattered plots with lines connecting the elements. Typically, you use line graphs with set intervals on one of the axes; most often using time on the bottom axis. These are good for illustrating trend data as well. Sometimes line graphs are filled in, and become area charts.
Area Chart
Area charts are diagrams that compare data using geometric shapes or areas, where the surface area, or the real estate of the areas, corresponds to some bit of data. They are useful when comparing the sizes of different things, and in some cases are plotted along a timeline to show the change in size over time. This type of area chart is a bubble chart, where the area of the circles corresponds to the size of the data.
