Step 3 of 4
Your writing calendar

Define the intensity of different periods below. These shape how week estimates are calculated — a focused period yields a shorter estimate than a squeezed one. Rename, add, or remove any period to fit your year.

Drag chapters into the order you plan to draft them. Week estimates are calculated from your previous answers. Adjust any that don't feel right. Choose who will give feedback on each chapter, or select "No reader."
