Experience that rewards real practice.

Your level reflects the writing you actually do: finishing sessions, time on the page, trying new adventures, and coming back day after day.

  1. Finish a session

    Every completed adventure earns experience, whichever one you choose.

  2. Time on the page

    Minutes spent writing count, up to half an hour per session.

  3. Try something new

    The first time you complete each adventure earns the largest bonus.

  4. Show up today

    Your first session of the day earns a bonus.

  5. Keep a streak

    Writing on consecutive days adds a streak bonus that grows for up to ten days.
