4theWords is an online game where you fight baddies by writing words! I use it to motivate myself to write. You can trick out your character with tons of cosmetics and raise yourself some dragons buddies too. If you’ve got four bucks (USD) a month to spare, you should try it out with my referral code: SMWGE07249.

Every so often, the dev team lets everybody do a quest style called the Gratitude Journal. In it, you write at least 444 words for 44 days straight, and add 4 posts to that quest’s Gratitude Journal forum thread*. There’s even a chance to get some free crystals: the in-game premium currency that can be used for subscription time and other cosmetics.

*You can make any kind of forum post, but in order to be entered into the crystal pool, you have to do them all in that quest’s specific thread, and do it in a (rather generous) amount of time. I think you’ve got a month to do it from the first chance you can pick up the quest. And those posts can be as short as a sentence or a whole list of stuff like I did.
