January 2023's Writer Support Thread

The way you approach your goals, @Jjcb is a great approach for many reasons. Some people need more formal goals, but many just need to have a general plan in mind to move forward. Then there are those that write best by taking it day by day.

When writing new material: I average between 1,000 and 3,000.

If so, there are several visual graphing apps that can help you with flow charts and other such devises.

There are threads that list specific apps to use if you want to browse them.

Here is a good thread to look at:
