Author Wordcount is a simple tool that allows you to enter the title of 
a work-in-progress (I’m looking at you, NaNoWriMo draft), a current word 
count, and a goal word count. These counters can be updated when you have 
new words available, and can be deleted when you’re finished. You can have 
any number of works in progress at a time, since if you’re like me, you’ve 
probably got a huge collection of drafts just waiting to be finished.
The style is based on an old component that used to sit on the sidebar of
