    Storyist 107: Tracking Writing Goals

    In this episode I’ll demonstrate how you can use the Writing Goals feature in Storyist to your advantage. With Writing Goals you can keep on track of a deadline and get an impression of how many words per day you write over a longer period of time. Writing Goals have become popular with competitors like NaNoWriMo, which have taught us that sometimes it’s important to just put words on the page. They’re not meant to pressure you, but they’re a fantastic addition to track your output.
