Understanding Progress Metrics
Calculated based on questions answered versus total available in selected chapters. Don't worry about reaching 100%. Focus on capturing what matters most to you.
A running total of all written content. There's no minimum or maximum. Write as much or as little as feels right for each story.
Tracks entries marked as complete. Draft entries don't count here, encouraging you to finish stories when ready.
