## Description

"Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work."
— Stephen King

Track every writing session. Watch your manuscript grow. The Margin helps you build a consistent practice — one page at a time.

LOG EVERY SESSION
Finished a writing sprint? Log your word count, chapter, mood, and notes. 

WATCH YOUR MANUSCRIPT GROW
Your home screen shows a manuscript stack that grows with every session. See your total word count, daily progress, and how close you are to your goal.

TIMED WRITING SESSIONS
Set a timer and write. A rotating collection of writing tips and craft quotes motivates you while the clock runs.

TRACK MULTIPLE PROJECTS
Working on a novel and a screenplay? Each project gets its own session history, word count, and progress bar.

KNOW YOUR PATTERNS
Weekly, monthly, and yearly insights show you when you write best, how consistent you are, and where your streaks land. Stats include average words per session, best writing day, and words-per-week trends.

STREAKS AND MILESTONES
Every day you write counts. The Margin tracks your current streak, personal best, and milestones like your longest streak and biggest session. 

MOOD TRACKING
Tag each session with how the writing felt: dry, grinding, steady, flow, or sparks. Over time, see which moods correlate with your best output.
