I recently released an awesome new version of Storyblue that includes goals and charts. In a nutshell, we track your daily writing progress and chart it for you, so you can see at a glance how many words you write per day, what days are the most productive, etc. We also let you set goals, such as, “I’d like to write 1200 words per day,” and Storyblue will track your progress against that goal.

Having trouble staying motivated writing? Try Storyblue, now with spiffy goals and charts.

(You can follow the Storyblue blog here, for more frequent updates on Storyblue!)

We’ve retired our classic novel planning application, NovelPlanner, with the release of Storyblue, the new and awesome novel-planning and writing software from manythingsblue.

Drag-and-drop characters, scenes, and notes to plan your book, then write it in a simple, distraction free interface.

Added an about/FAQ page, added some non-US states to the list.

I’ve been discussing the purpose and vision of Photographerblue in the comments over at the Launch! post — if you haven’t read it, go do so and feel free to add your thoughts! I’m open to feedback, and I’ve enjoyed the discussion with Neil.

The About/FAQ/Feature page I just added is a direct result of that conversation; I hope it clarifies some of what we’re trying to do. Let me know if you think it could be improved (comment here, or email me at taylor@manythingsblue.com).
