Writing techniques

Write regularly, without the pressure.

Most first novels die halfway through, not for lack of talent but for lack of consistency. Vellam counts the words you add in the background and shows whether you actually write or only plan to sit down.

A metric, not gamification

  1. A goal set around your own evenings

    Daily and weekly, with rest days. A free Sunday does not break the streak, because you decide when you rest.

  2. Your real rhythm

    A 30-day chart and a full-year heatmap. You see when you actually write and when you only plan to sit down.

  3. The date you finish

    Progress on each book against its goal, and the finish date at the pace you actually keep.
