2. Writing Inspiration: Get Inspired By the World's Best Writers
Stumbling upon the right nugget of wisdom at the right time can be life-changing. Writing Inspiration — our free Chrome extension — creates an opportunity for this to happen every time you open a new tab.
It shows you one of over 700 quotes from writers like Neil Gaiman, Zadie Smith, Terry Pratchett, Anne Lamott or Ernest Hemingway.
Each quote is accompanied by a beautiful photo from a library or a bookshop that will help you get into the mood for writing.
Writing Inspiration is free to use. Unlike other extensions, it doesn't collect or sell any data about you. Get it from the Chrome Web Store..
3. Writing Planner: How Long Will It Take to Write Your Book?
If you're planning to write every single day, figuring out how long it will take to finish your book isn't too hard. But if you have a more complex schedule, it can become a little more complicated.
Our writing planner makes this super simple. Put in your goal and schedule; it will calculate the rest.
You can choose between setting a deadline or a fixed daily goal. The planner will calculate your daily goal or deadline respectively.
The planner is free to use. No need to sign up for an account.
4. Word Counter: Count Words, Sentences, Paragraphs and Pages
