When you create a novel, one of the settings you choose is whether you’ll be writing on the YWP site or whether you’ll be writing somewhere else and updating your word count manually.
- If you’re writing on our site, just type in the writing space to update your count.
- If you’re writing somewhere else, just enter your word count where it says “Update Total Word Count” in the novel box.
You can always change these settings by clicking on the wrench at the top of the novel box and choosing a different option. Happy writing!
