Authorlytica review

A chapter can lose words and get better in the same evening. Authorlytica gives editing its own project type, so I’d use it to keep track of revision days as well as new pages.

Give a revision session its own count

Choose words, pages or lines for each project. Count new words while drafting a chapter. For a revision pass, count the pages you got through and note how long it took. You type the count into Authorlytica, so the draft and its earlier versions can stay in Scrivener.

Look at a week of work before changing the target

The free plan gives you up to 30 days of charts and lets you export your session records to CSV. Writing speed and pace are Premium features. Adam Rendo started Authorlytica after taking part in NaNoWriMo and wanting a way to keep the habit going.

Anabel’s take

I’d log a week of drafting and revision before setting a harder goal. If I’d spent two days tightening the same scene, I’d want to see those sessions in the record. That’s the part of Authorlytica I’d use first.
