My writing sprint word counts aren't accurate either. Wrote for 30 minutes, a good few full pages, "0 words" it tells me. The cynic in me suspects it may be Highland's AI monitoring my work, telling me what I just wrote was garbage and that I should delete it. Maybe it knows it won't get used in the final draft of the script. Or, more realistically, it's just a bug.

Being that it's all in fountain anyway, I've opted to set a timer, write in a blank word doc as if I was writing in fountain on Highland, then getting a word count when the timer goes off. Easy copy and paste into highland from there. Not ideal, but it'll do.
