The Chapter Bell
A chapter that reads well on the page can run long in the ear. Lay the manuscript down and the bell times every chapter as a listener will actually hear it — then, inside the ones that overrun, it finds the paragraph seams closest to a clean break, so you cut where your prose already breathes and not where a clock told you to.
The manuscript
Nothing leaves your machine. Timed at the house rate — one finished minute for every thousand words.
Paste a manuscript with its chapter headings intact — “Chapter One”, “Prologue”, a bare numeral — and the bell will time every one of them.
Take this to the Forge.
