The Reader's Clock
A chapter is not long or short. It is a length of someone's evening. Lay the manuscript down and the clock will time every chapter twice — once spoken, once read in silence — and show you plainly where the book asks more of a reader than it gives back.
The manuscript
Spoken time is measured at this house's finished rate — 155 words of manuscript to a finished minute, 9,300 words to a finished hour. Nothing you paste here leaves this browser.
The clock has not been wound
Paste a chapter and it will begin to count.
Free, always, with or without a key. Hold one and every bench you walk counts toward the Instrument Seal — the Drakenscroll Prize.
