Writing Goal Tracker
Set a word target and watch your progress toward it as you type, with the remaining words and a share of the goal completed. Gives a draft a target to hit.
How to use
- Paste your draft into the box.
- Set the target word count.
- Watch the progress as you write.
A writing goal tracker compares the current word count of a draft against a target. Writing by the clock rarely works, while writing to a word target gives a draft a defined end.
Paste or type your draft.
Questions about writing goal tracker
- How many words a day is realistic?
- Most people sustain 500 to 1000 words in a focused hour, and far less over a whole day of editing.
- Does the target include the title?
- Only what is in the box is counted, so paste the body text if you want the title excluded.
- Can I change the target later?
- Yes, the target is a setting rather than a limit, so raising or lowering it updates the progress at once.
