It might be a bit too early for sharing snippets or asking for a beta if you've started a whole new fic, but I know a lot of us are working on WIPs: so please do share & request help if you like!

*snicker* Fair enough about not wanting to share the pr0n!

I've never paid a lot of attention to the points, except to wonder why, if I've written every day so far in a month, some other people could have so many more points than me. You are much more observant/persistent in figuring things out than I!!! I'm sorry you were robbed of that 3rd point though! If it does end up being some kind of recurring bug, you could ask the site owner to look into it & perhaps give you the points? I don't know if this has changed, but certainly a year or so ago he was v. responsive to bug complaints (people saying the site hadn't saved their words & thus their streak was falsely ruined, etc.) & willing to change people's stats if need be.

I don't actually give a hoot about having the points:) but they are interesting if the writing habit they are supposed to reward is something that would be good for me. Ive only been using 750w 'by the rules' for 4 days so I'm prepared to trust the program for the moment - unless it goes completely random.

Today (4/12) I got the third point and I think it might have something to do with typing speed because I was faster today and finished the 750 in 10 mins less than the last time even though I was active every minute on both occasions according to the stats. I also steered clear of Mozilla spell check and other windows.

So it seems to advocate quickness and evenness. Is this good for writing, I wonder. I suppose it depends on how much you know where you are going/how quick you think as you're writing.

Used like this 750w is more like Write or Die than the online notepad I used to use it as.
