Frequently Asked Questions

How is my daily target calculated?

Remaining words are divided by the number of your selected writing days between today and your deadline. Days you do not write are excluded, so the target reflects your real schedule instead of an even split across every calendar day.

What happens when I miss a writing day?

The planner recalculates from your current written count, so a missed day raises the remaining daily target instead of derailing the plan. Updating the written count regularly keeps the target honest.

How does pace mode work?

Enter the words you can write on each writing day and the planner walks forward through your selected weekdays until the remaining words are covered, giving you a finish date for that pace.
