Rewards

writing is hard. have a gold star.

Levels, streaks, 22 badges and three small quests a day. They reward showing up, not word-count vanity. Everything is counted on your own device, and there is nothing to buy. Ever.

Start writing, free

The rules

fair, or it’s not fun.

Words

A point per ten

Up to 2,000 words a day count. After that, keep writing for the love of it.

Pasting

Earns nothing

A big paste isn’t writing. Paste a novel, get zero points and our quiet disappointment.

Quests

Three a day

Always one about words, two about the craft. +25 each, and a bonus for all three.

Badges

22 of them

Each with its own small joke. Earn one and it says so, once, at the bottom of the screen.

Streaks

Days in a row

Any writing counts. Missed a week? There’s a badge for coming back, not a guilt trip.

Privacy

Just yours

No leaderboard, no feed, nobody watching. It’s between you and the page.

Levels

blank page to author.

Ten levels. Some of them unlock small things: a caret in a new colour, a different celebration, a bell for when you hit a goal.

Seven days. The page is starting to expect you.

Grey eyes in chapter two, brown on the roof. Not on your watch.

Five scenes, done done. Not ‘done for now’. Done.

The middle is where books die. Not this one.

You finished a draft. Most people never do. Go outside.
