Step 1 of 4

What are you working towards?

This shapes the timeline you'll see at the end.

Please note: dates are displayed in day/month/year format.

Not counting introduction or conclusion
Step 2 of 4

Where are you now?

Tasks you've already completed will appear on your timeline as done. We'll create a clear timeline for everything else. Don't worry about choosing exactly the right state of "doneness." You'll be able to adjust later.
Step 3 of 4

Your writing calendar

Define the intensity of different time periods below. These shape how each step is estimated. A focused period yields a shorter estimate than a squeezed one. Adjust any time period to fit your own rhythm. Remove any you don't need or add extras if you need more.

Use the arrow buttons to order your chapters, or drag them if you prefer. 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."

Not sure how long a chapter takes you? Try our Writing Rhythm tool, which calculates your daily word count based on your target date.
