manuscript manuscripts wordcount wordcountgoal wordcountgoals

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?


  I'm writing novels in manuscript mode, and my set world wordcount goal is unnaffected by my progress. I still don't know how many words I've actually written for my novels using World Anvil.
 

How does this feature request address the current situation?


  Connecting manuscript draft wordcount to my wordcount goal counter (the way article drafts do) lets me see my overall progress accross multiple works.
   

What are other uses for this feature request?


  Help anyone using manuscripts to observe their personal wordcount progress

    I'd like to add the suggestion that this be a toggable feature/a feature with multiple settings. Something like being able to turn "manuscript wordcount" tracking on and off, and/or the option to have the manuscript wordcount either merged with or displayed separate from the article wordcount.

    I want to upvote this, with the caveat that the manuscript wordcount goal should be separate from my worldbuilding wordcount goal. I'd love a progress bar that adds up and displays my different prose works/manuscripts and displays it to me, of a sort of statistics tracker for manuscripts that tracks across multiple manuscripts, but I don't want it combined with my worldbuilding wordcount because to me they are very different.
