Freewriting

I free-write every day. To contain and track my work, I tried different sites, like WriteForTen and 750 Words. However, I ultimately decided that I'd be happier keeping it on my own site, in order to keep control of the content.

The above sites combined provide the following features:

  • Timer while drafting (trying to draft as much as possible in a limited time): Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a WordPress plugin that duplicates this feature. Fortunately, I was never too keen on it, anyway. I'm more results-oriented; for example, I'd rather aim to write 1600 words than to write for thirty minutes.
  • Post word count: I'll just manually put that in the title.
  • Days posted in a row: Again, there is no functionality or plugin for this. I'm pretty disappointed. The best I can do is present this archives page as an easy-to-track list so that it's patently obvious when one is missing.
  • RSS feed: Here you go.

I might add features in the future.
