Where to find it: Left sidebar → Writing Open in 4TW ↗The Writing area is where you’ll spend most of your time in 4thewords: creating and editing documents, tracking your word counts, and keeping your writing organized. Words you type in the editor count toward your active battles and your daily writing streak. Three tabs sit inside Writing: Home (your writing dashboard), Files (individual documents), and Projects (files grouped into a book). Each file can hold several pages, and you can share any file or project with friends to write together in real time.
