To start writing, you’ll need to purchase credits. Then you can use them to set up a writing journey, even can earn credits back along the way. There are three modes:
- Hard mode:
Just like any other paid service, you must pay to use it. In hard mode, you will not be able to earn back any credit, starting from $5 each month;
- Challenge mode:
In challenge mode, you can earn back your credit if you write every day in a row. You can set any credit amount that motivates you when you start a new streak. However, if you break your streak, you will lose all of the credit that you set in that streak;
- Sponsor mode:
Sponsor mode is a new way to sponsor people. You can set a credit reward and a streak length for someone as Assignee. If the assignee writes every day in the streak, the assignee will receive the reward. This can be a great way to motivate others to write regularly, or to support a friend or kid to build a daily writing habit.
