What other authors have to say...
I now have a list of 45+ books that have met their publishing deadlines due to StoryOrigin's word count tracker, representing a total of over 3 million words on paper. StoryOrigin is always open in my browser!
Cherie MitchellI found it motivated me to write on the days that I felt lazy because I didn't want to see another empty slot on my graph... I would definitely recommend using the Goal Tracker feature in StoryOrigin.
J.L. SanchezStoryOrigin can help you monitor your daily progress... I used this feature last year to push myself and nearly hit 700,000 words written! That's a record for me! My next goal is 1,000,000!
Elysia StrifeUsing the word count tracker feature on StoryOrigin has been game changer for me... Tracking has turned out to be more valuable than I ever imagined.
Dineen MillerI thought word count tracking was the dumbest idea ever until I used StoryOrigin's Goal Trackers feature. 3 books and over 200,000 words later, I'm counting the words I need to eat, too.
Bill & Mia BelewI love the Goal Tracker feature! It helps me stay on track with my WIP and helps me see how many words I need to write to reach my goal by my deadline

Is there a 5 star rating system on this? Because StoryOrigin is at least 6 stars. At least! I've used the other platforms... and none of them approach the flexibility and power of StoryOrigin
W.H. LockI used to use several sites and groups to facilitate things like newsletter swaps, multi-author book promos, reader magnets, and reviews, but I can do it all and better on StoryOrigin.
