Targets and a due date

Tell Septangular how long the book should be and when it’s due, and it tells you how much to write each day.

Below the chart on the overview, set the book’s target and your daily goal. Or set a due date instead, and the daily goal is worked out for you: the words left at the start of today, divided by the days left, today and the due day included. It doesn’t shrink as you write today, so it can be met. The gauges, the chart’s goal line and the Due card all follow it.

Every calendar day counts. Clear the due date to set your own daily goal again; the one you had is kept. Past the due date, or once the target is reached, your own daily goal applies.

Chapters can have targets of their own, set from the Manuscript.
