Word Goal Tracker
This is a simple tracker / log for a writing goal, mostly used for the NovelEmber event on World Anvil. You could also use it as a general word count tracker for whatever thing or event.
Inspired by the tracker on NaNoWriMo (despite recent events), I thought it would be nice to essentially have that, but embedded into a page here on World Anvil. So I made this silly thing.
If you find bugs or whatever, let me know!
Getting the Statblock
Note: Make sure you have RPG Features enabled under your Account Features.
Firstly, make a copy of the template in your world. Once you've clicked the button, you can close the tab.
You now have a copy of the template in your world's statblocks! This is a default template pre-filled for NovelEmber, so it already has 30 days and a total word goal of 50,000. You can change these to your goals, if they're different.
Copy Statblock
Statblock Details
Step 1
Go to your statblocks in the sidebar, and click on the newly created block.
It will be called "NovelEmber Template" and already have a few tags associated with it.
Reminder: Make sure you have RPG Features enabled under your Account Features!

Step 2
Rename the statblock and change its tags, too.
You can also change the Event Details, if they're different than what's already there.

Step 3
Once the event starts, you can log the words you wrote for whatever day it is.
You can also put links in, if your work is public. Each new line is a new link, so you can work on multiple things for the same goal and still share each one!
Tip: You can just hit the enter key to make a new line in the large textbox, it won't prematurely save the page!
Hit any save button when you're done.

It will individually separate the links based on the newline break and make a list on the card. Links will always open in a new tab.

Using the Statblock
You can embed the statblock into a page for your and / or everyone else's viewing pleasure. If you make event pages in your world to track your progress for the event, this is a perfect place to put it!
