Writing Stats: charts, milestones, forecast
Want to know how much you actually write? The Writing Stats page has the full picture — charts, milestones, and a forecast.
How to open
Chart icon (📊 / "Stats" tooltip) in the left sidebar → opens Writing Stats.
Not under Account — it's a dedicated page in the writing studio.
Page sections
Today + Overview
Two cards at the top:
- Today: +N words / Manuscript vs Reference split / vs yesterday / streak days
- Overview: All works or per-book / goal progress ring / Manuscript vs Reference ratio
Writing Heatmap (past 16 weeks)
GitHub-contribution-style grid — past 16 weeks, one cell per day, darkness = volume.
Toggle Total / Manuscript / Reference to see different views.
Writing Rhythm
Right side panel:
- Current streak (days)
- Average daily words
- Active days
30-Day Trend
Mid-page line chart — past 30 days daily output. Total / Stacked toggle for Manuscript+Reference stacking.
This Week vs Last Week
7-day bar chart comparing two weeks. Full view unlocks on Starter and above.
Writing Milestones
Each book is tracked against these milestones; the motivation card pops a celebration when you hit one:
| Milestone | Display name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 5K | Ice Breaker | Opening is solid |
| 20K | Short Form Taking Shape | Mid-section turn |
| 50K | Novella Complete | NaNoWriMo finish line |
| 80K+ | Full-Length Novel | Long-form territory |
The i18n source also defines celebration lines for 1K / 10K / 25K / 75K / 100K — each one is a milestone writers recognize (e.g. "Fifty thousand words. That's the NaNoWriMo finish line.").
Book Progress Ranking
Below — all your books sorted by word count with progress-bar visual comparison.
Estimated Completion (forecast)
When a book has a target word count, Estimated Completion computes an ETA based on your rolling 7-day average:
At your current pace of 350 words per day, your work will be complete in 193 days (2026-11-23).
ETA is checked against your target date:
- Behind → nudge to accelerate
- Ahead → encouragement / suggest raising the goal
Reading signals
- Declining 4-week average → motivation slipping; consider rest or switching books
- Mostly empty heatmap → commitment too aggressive; dial it down
- Multiple weeks above goal → raise the bar
- ETA keeps drifting later → target too big, or pace too slow
