“A reminder that @4thewords is awesome. It turns the writing process into an RPG game where you fight monsters by writing. Quests! Gear! Costumes!

Thanks for giving me inspiration and strength to write during the roughest times.” Mary Robinette Kowal

“I've been a professional writer for about fifteen years, and full-time for eleven, so I don't need 4thewords to make me get my job done. But I like feeling rewarded -- especially when working on a novel, which is such a long-haul undertaking that the small dopamine hits of "I finished a quest!" are very useful -- and it's also good for motivating myself to do things I wouldn't otherwise, like writing more short fiction (which often falls through the cracks when noveling), or blog posts, or even doing something like using social media (which for me doubles as promotion).” Marie Brennan

“I know there's no magic bullet and no one-size-fits-all solution (and believe me, I am registering suggestions to make the site/game more accessible to more people) but...@4thewords has helped me to write through the wildly varying circumstances of my life, and that's amazing.

Honestly, @4thewords might be the thing that finally gets me to put a sim card in my Blackberry. It's the only mobile device I have that I could comfortably write thousands of words on.” Alexandra Erin

“I have almost 22k on something I've been trying to revise for three years. Breaking it into manageable, gamified chunks has really helped me break through that wall.”

“I adore the motivation. It is exactly what I need to get my butt in the chair and my fingers flying over the keyboard.”

“I heard about 4thewords from the Writing Excuses podcast. I swung by to try it out and stayed because it has me writing every day. Consistently. Since joining, I've entered a Flash Fiction contest and submitted a sample of my writing to a writing workshop that has limited enrollment and was accepted. My confidence as a writer had increased and I owe that all to the game - it gets my butt in the chair and I put down words. So, thank you.”

“4thewords is a lifesaver, I joined 3 days ago and I already wrote 19 pages on my thesis!”
