• Word Count Accountability/Writing App??

  There's 4thewords, where they gamify writing. I've not tried it but it looks interesting. Source: about 1 year ago

• Executive Dysfunction

  Yes, I'm the same way. Two things have helped me. 1. Using the Pomodoro technique. You can find timers online and they tick while you are doing whatever, which I find helps me stay on track. I do 30 minutes with 5 minutes break. 2. 4thewords.com is a really cool gamification system for writers. You basically fight monsters while you're writing. It's amazing how well it keeps you on track! Also, there are some... Source: about 1 year ago

• Where you write?

  I use 4thewords.com with Scrivener for organisation and notes, but it really depends on what works for you. I like the gamification of 4thewords because it helps me focus, other people prefer options where they can completely turn off their wifi for fewer distractions. There are people who still write entirely by hand for their first drafts because it helps turn off their inner editor. Try a few options and see... Source: over 1 year ago

• Hello, I'm Celia Lake. I write cosy historical fantasy romances. Ask Me Anything today!

  My word count went up substantially when I stopped commuting every day in March of 2020. These days I'm in the office 2-3 days a week, but I've kept the words up, and average about 2K a day (though there are days I do a lot less and some I do more). I draft on 4theWords, so there is a bit of gamification there - can I get through this word battle to defeat this monster, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Campfire Writing?

  I use 4TheWords more often than some of the other ones lately, and it's sorta fun too. They've got a thirty day trial and plenty of events that give you additional time for free (especially NaNo). Also worth a check if some of the other software doesn't tickle your fancy. Source: over 1 year ago

• Found the Revolut Alternative?

  A few days ago I got rejected in the verification process. After that some of you advised me to take a look at Wise, but after using it the cost for currency exchange getting higher and higher. Now I have found another app, which its cold zen.com . Top up is free if you transfer the money to the IBAN who is given to you, and also currency exchange is less expensive (in my app stands even it is free, whithout a... Source: over 1 year ago

• Unrecognized order in my account: what to do to get support?

  Every support option in G2A site only forwards me either to the seller (it's not a sellers' problem), or to zen.com (their payment gateway, that again, don't have anything to do with it, since the order originated from g2a site). But I need support for a issue inside g2a platform...it's an order I didn't place. Source: almost 2 years ago

• G2A does not want my money - bad bad customer journey.

  Fair enough. I proceed as instructed, few days later someone from zen.com asks me to provide the transaction details and then I explain that there was no transaction. I provide evidence as needed. Source: about 2 years ago

• This site is ripping people off

  I got an email stating that I'll be charged an inactivity fee, so I logged in (multiple times) to reset the timer. I got charged an inactivity fee. Twice. I raised a support ticket to clear things up, and they directed me to send an email to [hello@zen.com](mailto:hello@zen.com), which I'm assuming is their vendor for payments. I have nothing to do with zen.com so it's ridiculous to expect me to handle this... Source: about 2 years ago

• Please Help Us Choose The Logo

  Also zen.com Mastercard payment gateway, but if you will search the word Zen - it's the official sign of the word itself :) So I'm not sure if you can call it a copyright since the Ensō of Zen (circular form) is about 2000 years old. Source: over 2 years ago
