I suppose you'd call it editing, what Ive been doing. Ive no idea of the word count. Ive been putting my chapters into ywriter and organising them, seeing where the gaps are. Its a pretty straightforward program. My fic's not too complicated so I can use it as a test of ywriter.

Then I tried to get dropbox and ywriter to work together - to transfer ywriter projects between computers. It didn't work. You can't have everything I guess.
ywriter is shareware so this question could be something I could discuss directly with the software developer.

My main reservation about the program was that the final output might be a mess of plans, notes and chapters mixed, as ywriter has windows for all these. But, no it seems happy to output txt or rtf (or even html though I haven't tried it) of just the chapters.

My issue: at the moment its privacy, keeping family and fic separated and having enough calm to think all the sentences through without half my mind on an ever present possibility of disturbance. I guess I could break the editing down, like the writing sprints.

Privacy. If I had a nickel for every time I was writing at midnight....
