Writing Quests Google Sheets tracker option
This is a Google Sheets–based tracker that some might be interested in using. It has some fun Easter eggs.
You can make a copy of the Google Sheet from the version in the Google folder with the Writing Quests tracker.
Writing Quests Questy tracker option
There is also a web-based next-generation tracker from Writing Quests called Questy, which you are welcome to try. It's in its early stages, but there are some exciting new features coming soon. One unique feature is that you can define your own progress units.
