Dabble updated my word count for me, and I discovered that my anxiety about performing dissipated. I’d write through midnight, and the previous day’s worth of writing wouldn’t log because I’d forgotten to update my count on the NaNo site. In previous years, I’d write offline in documents that I would have to slingshot between Microsoft Word and LibreOffice depending on which computer I had access to. There was a light or dark mode (light for me), bold and italics, and word count goals. While I was writing, the interface disappeared so it was just me and my story. Dabble synced to cloud storage but was streamlined. I hadn’t used cloud-based systems before because I found them clunky, and invariably I’d save over the wrong version. Honestly, it has revolutionized the way I write. When I won NaNoWriMo a couple years ago, one of the prizes was a subscription to Dabble. You know those excuses: falling down internet-search rabbit holes, needing your writing cave to be perfect before you can even start, lacking time as you scramble between work and home, typesetting your manuscript more than you’re writing it, etc. After all, when progress comes easy, everything standing in your way disappears. As someone working three jobs, it’s not about squeezing more hours out of the day it’s about making the act of writing easier. One of a writer’s eternal struggles is finding the time to write. Today, writer Astra Compton is here to tell you about Dabble, a Camp NaNoWriMo 2019 sponsor: There are lots of options when it comes to writing software, but it’s important to find the one that works best for you. If you have any questions or further concerns, let us know at We're here to help.Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. It allows us to provide syncing across devices, so we hope it is worth the cost to those who value this aspect of the product. We understand a subscription isn't for everyone. The most important thing is that you're writing your stories, not that you're doing so on Dabble. No writing software is best for everyone, so when Dabble doesn't seem to be the right fit, we try and help you with suggestions for others. ![]() We try and suggest other products to people where it might fit better. Unfortunately, with a very small team, we have to prioritize features, and what might be an obvious and glaring hole in the product to one person might be an unnecessary feature to another. We take all feature requests into consideration as we build out our product roadmap. We strive to always be kind and treat our customers with respect. I'm sorry for your negative experience with my response. Hey SuperMan, We appreciate your feedback. I was scratching my head but it explains everything. ![]() PS: It took them over a year to respond to the review on here. I do not recommend Dabble to anyone wanting a good customer experience. There are better products on the market, with lots more functionality and features and they are all within a similar range. ![]() I also quit because their subscription pricing is not competitive. Try other writing tools like Scrivener, tons of features. It's bad for business not to mention ironic for a business trying to sell a communication tool. Why would anyone stay when there are so many better ones out there that actually deliver a good product? No customer should have to put up with a business that does not treat its customers with respect. I have quit this platform for that reason. Basically he told me if I don't like it, go elsewhere. I asked about a specific feature and received a very rude and uncaring response from the owner no less. There is a Hungarian saying that goes along the lines of "the fish stinks from its head". One of the worst companies you can engage with.
