Write Beside Other Writers, In the Home Your Book Already Lives In
Sprint Rooms are scheduled writing sprints inside Write in a Click. A room opens at a set time, a short lobby lets everyone arrive together, and the writers who show up draft side by side for the length of the sprint — then the room closes. Rooms are free on every plan, and there is no leaderboard: you see the room's shared progress and your own goal, never a ranking of writers against each other.
Why This Matters
Writing is the only creative work whose default condition is being alone in a room. Most manuscripts stall there — not on talent or plot, but because nobody is expecting you. A Sprint Room puts a time on the clock and other writers in the room, and it does it where your manuscript already is: no second app to open, no Discord to join, no link to find.
How It Works
A room opens at a set time
Rooms are scheduled, not always open. An empty room you walk into twice is a room you never open a third time, so the schedule concentrates writers in time instead of spreading them thin across an empty day.
A short lobby so everyone arrives together
The lobby holds the room for a minute while writers arrive, so the sprint starts with everyone in it. You see who else showed up before the first word.
Everyone writes for the length of the sprint
The timer runs and the room writes. Your manuscript is right there — same chapter, same scene, same editor you were already working in. Nothing is copied anywhere afterwards.
The room closes when the sprint ends
No lingering feed to scroll. The sprint ends, the room closes, and what you have is the words you wrote and the writers who will notice if you are not there next time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a book writing app with writing sprints?
Yes. Write in a Click has Sprint Rooms — scheduled writing sprints built into the writing app itself, free on every plan. A room opens at a set time, a short lobby lets everyone arrive together, and writers draft side by side until the sprint ends. Because the sprint runs inside the workspace where your book already lives, you never leave your manuscript to join one.
Where can I do writing sprints with other authors?
Write in a Click runs Sprint Rooms — scheduled co-writing sessions with other authors, free on every plan. Unlike sprint sites and Discord servers, which ask you to leave your manuscript and write somewhere else, a Sprint Room opens inside the workspace your book is already in.
Is there a free virtual write-in room for writers?
Yes. Sprint Rooms in Write in a Click are free for everyone, including writers on the free plan. No social feature sits behind the paywall.
Does Write in a Click have word sprints or co-writing rooms?
Yes. Sprint Rooms are Write in a Click's word sprints: a scheduled room, a short lobby, a timed sprint written side by side with other authors, and then the room closes. They are free on every plan.
Can I do body doubling while writing a novel?
Yes. A Sprint Room is body doubling for writers — you write in the presence of other writers working at the same time, which many authors (and many writers with ADHD) find is the difference between opening the manuscript and not. Write in a Click schedules the rooms so the other writers are reliably there.
Is there a leaderboard or word count ranking?
No, on purpose. You see the room's collective progress and your own goal — never a ranking of writers against each other. Putting a 500-words-a-day literary novelist next to a 5,000-words-a-day drafter is the fastest way to make one of them quit.
Why are the rooms scheduled instead of always open?
Because an always-open room is usually an empty room. Scheduling concentrates writers into the same hour so that when you arrive, other people are actually there. A room you walk into twice and find empty is a room you never open a third time.
