Exercises matched to a skill

A library of exercises, each tagged to a writing skill and grouped by writing type, with difficulty that ranges from beginner to experienced. Pick a prompt, write, and submit. Some are micro exercises built for a focused five minutes, with a word counter and a soft timer; others are a long sitting. Free accounts get three a day. Pro opens the full library, lifts the daily cap, and keeps every submission in your history.

Make your own exercises

Build an exercise of your own, one step at a time: choose the writing type and up to three skills it practices, write the instructions, and set rules such as a word range or words to avoid. Every rule is checked while someone writes and again when they submit. Start from a blank page, a prompt pool, or a copy of any exercise, try it yourself before you save, and keep it private or share it with the writers you choose. Feedback on every submission is measured against the skills you picked. A Pro feature.

A prose engine, not an opinion

Reading ease, sentence variety, vocabulary range, passive voice, pacing, imagery, tone, and dialogue, computed straight from your text. Paste the same passage twice and the numbers match to the decimal. No AI, no model, no judgement: the same input always returns the same reading, so you can act on it and check whether the next draft moved.

Nine advanced readings, with Pro

Pro turns on a deeper layer the engine holds back on free accounts: emotional valence and arousal, lexical cohesion and transition flow, sentence-complexity and subordination patterns, and a syntactic-variety read on how repetitive your structure runs. It keeps the history too, so each metric carries a trend across your recent drafts instead of a single number in isolation.

Skill focus and your Progress Report

Choose a skill to develop for each writing type, or take the one Inkbreaker recommends from how you have been writing. Every exercise you finish feeds XP into that skill, and skills level from apprentice up to master. The Progress Report gathers all of it: progression, streaks, writing volume, and your strengths and weak spots per type. Pro adds the trend charts and the integrity signals that show what is improving and what has stalled.
