Can’t write? You need Dr. Wicked.
Thanks to a tweet yesterday from LeilaM, I discovered a fantastic writing tool called Write or Die. It’s a web-based program where you set a word-count and time goal, along with a reminder mode to kick you into action (mode choices are “gentle,” “normal,” “kamikaze,” and “electric shock”) and start writing. When you let up, you’ll get visual and aural reminders to get back to work. It’s hilarious … and amazingly helpful if you need to pound out the words. And free! Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments! [db]

Thanks for sharing this Diana. It will come in really handy with NaNoWriMo’s daily deadlines.

Diana, this site rocks! I was goofing around at first, but then I found that I COULD NOT stop writing. I knocked out a 400-word draft in 10 minutes. I haven’t played with the site too much, but I’m definitely going to use it – especially for those articles I’m feeling sort of ho-hum about. Knowing that I can bang out a draft that quickly is really inspiring!
