Ah, ok. I reread your initial message. I don't think yours is the
easiest way to do that. Here's how I would do it: I would /store/ the
number of words in a buffer somewhere (a buffer-local variable is one
possible idea) every time the counting function is called /the first
time on any given day/. This way you wouldn't have to set the counter
to zero etc. - Emacs could even plot a graph showing your progress
during several days?
And now I'm /very/ much tempted to actually write this piece of code.
It could be quite fun!
It's even better. It /might/ be a good idea ot turn it into an
educational blog post about Elisp or something similar.
WDYT? I think I could come up with a prototype within a few days...
Best,
