Was one of your New Year’s resolutions to write more? Or start writing? If you’re not in practice, then that can be a huge endeavor. No worries, there are a lot of options out there to help but if you would rather game than work, check out 4TheWords, the app that turns writing into a game.

This cool web and mobile app gamifies hitting a word count. You use the app to write whatever you want and your word counts attack monsters. The more you write, the more quests you complete the more in game swag you collect.

You can also use the site to organize your writing files if you don’t have another system for that. You retain ownership of everything that you write. The app works online and across various mobile devices. There’s a 30 day free trail and after that it’s $4 a month. If you’re looking for a fun way to get started, this is probably it.
