The folks at Literature and Latte know how obsessive writers are about their word counts, hours spent actually writing (not researching, or ruminating about a scene while walking the dog or scrubbing the kitchen floor, but actually butt in chair, fingertips on the keypad typing out words). But what do you write? A Facebook post? A Tweet? A grocery list? Are you slaving away at your work in progress? If you need a wakeup call of how much time you’ve put into your WIP, check out Scrivener’s Writing History feature. “I write daily.” This is a statement I often hear from writers.
