You know, I've always wanted to write a book, and I have dozens of pages of writing for different stories. So, when I saw your post on HN, I was stoked. Unfortunately, you did it all wrong. I say this in hopes that you will redo it, because I want your product.

Here's the problem - your software is supposed to help me write a novel, but it actually just hinders me. Your text editor functionality is non-existent, you have no integration with my usual tools, and your website doesn't suggest to me how to actually get a novel written.

So, go back and revisit your idea. If you are trying to help me write a novel, it's not going to be by providing some archaic text boxes on the internet.

Here's some things that would help me write a novel:

* give me points or prestige for finishing parts - gamify it

* help me to get feedback on my writing - socialize it

* provide me with tools that I can use - integrate with Word or Google Docs - I'm not typing into your system

I'm not sure you really understand how a novel is written. Have you used your system to write one?
