So I used to be the worst at actually sitting down and getting the words on the page, but right now, in the throes of camp nano, I’m doing okay! And it’s basically all because of this site, 750words.com.
★ 3 Pages = 750 words
“I looked this up. 250 words per page is considered to be the standard accepted number of words per page. So, three standard pages are about 750 words. You can’t just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit… 750 words takes a bit of effort, and it never fails to get me typing things that I have wanted to articulate without realizing it. And that’s the point.” - Buster Benson, the dude who set this up
It has a monthly counter thingy…
some fun little badges (I haven’t got many but there’s a TONNE and they’re all adorable):
There’s even one for Nano!
AND! This is the best part, this is literally what makes me write every day - the stats!
It tells you how fast you wrote, and how many breaks you took, and the rating of what you’ve written? Also, this:
as you can see I write lots of death, but look how colourful!
i’m not sure what all of this means but the most frequent words thing is really useful for seeing the little ticks I have in my writing. Also, graphs. mmmh
There’s also some neat little monthly stats tables and they do monthly write-every-day challenges! It’s all private, it autosaves your work and you can customise backgrounds/fonts and even write in full-screen mode.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share, happy writing everyone!
