A book is a lot of sittings. Make each one count.

• Goals, challenges and keepsakes count the words you type in Ascrivia. Pasting, importing or restoring a snapshot never earns one, so the numbers mean something.
• Cutting words never costs you anything. Revising a chapter down doesn’t take back a keepsake or set back a challenge.
• Days follow your own calendar, so evening writing counts for today.
• In a book written with a co-writer, each writer’s typed words are kept apart.

Twenty-nine keepsakes for milestones, habits, community and helping other writers, three of them secret. Habit keepsakes count the days you wrote, not days in a row, so there’s no streak to break. Reach a challenge’s goal and your friends hear about it.

The Campfire companion keeps you company too: it starts as embers, grows into a campfire after three days in a row and a bonfire after seven, flares when you save and cheers when you reach your goal.

The editor keeps a record of each day’s writing: words typed, words pasted or brought in, sittings and minutes. Never the text itself. When you publish, you can choose to show it on the book’s page: days of writing, sittings, hours, and how much was typed in Ascrivia.
