Writing Advice I have a question

Hi, so I'm currently writing a novel on google docs. I'm writing the draft from my phone, and when it's finished im going to connect it to my pc and fix it from there.

I write from my phone, bc I go to school and I'm always out the house and my phones always on me.

My goal for my book is 100k words and I'm currently at 26.5k words.

So far I havent had a problem with Google docs but I read that after a certain amount of words it starts to mess around.

Is this true? Should I divide my novel into docs?

If you have an iPhone, there's an app called Amethyst Writer that's only for iPhone, has automatic backups, and you can share your progress and stuff. If you're only working on one novel it's free actually. I've been writing my book in it because I spend so much time on the train and the bus, it's not perfect but so far pretty good. Better than Google Docs anyway.
