I'm looking for an exhaustive writing tracker, either software or a spreadsheet. ideally, the basic things it would need to track are word count per session, projects worked on, submission status, etc. The more things related to writing to track the better.

If there's a way to create or it includes graphs that would be amazing. Basically, the more it looks like productivity porn, the better.

I'd really like this to be some kind of software or website, so I don't have to have multiple "2014 Writing Year", "2015 Writing Year", etc. files in a folder on my computer. But I haven't been able to google up anything that fits what I'm looking for. I do have one giant spreadsheet that I've been using, but I made the mistake of renaming it so I can't just say "Hey, I'm looking for something a little more involved than So-and-so's Spreadsheet of Doom" or whatever.

The thought behind the ask: I write better when I have something that will visually show me "hey if you don't write something you're going to break your streak, loser", and I write **more** if I'm trying to beat someone, including myself. The shinier something is with the more bells and whistles, the more likely I am to consistently use it. Basically, I'm trying to instill good writing habits in myself by tricking myself into having good writing habits, using methods that have worked in the past for other things.

Can anyone help?
