Write or Die

tinny · 2008-11-17T17:29:12Z

"We'd just fallen apart so much, I couldn't stand the sight of him anymore, but after just twenty minutes Write or Die saved my marriage, I mean, Nano!" ;) I don't think I've seen this mentioned so far (it could just be me being unobservant) but I thought I'd share a link to an amazing tool that is saving my nano. Write or Die puts the "Prod back into productivity!" You can set both the time and word count aims to whatever you want for a session, and then type away. Here's the catch; if you haven't written anything for too long, it varies depending on what setting you're on, then the screen turned red and it starts wailing sounds at you until you start typing again. There is a pause button, but it only works once. I usually set it quite strict and give myself 20 minutes to write 1000 words which is ace for squeezing into breaks between lectures and stuff ^^

Oh, I simply loved Write or Die. It helped me squeeze in an extra 10k on the last day. I definitely recommend using it!

Help me get that second star! If you need a review, just send me a PM. (Keep it PG, please. Except for violence... I can handle that. ^^ )

Hrm. 445 words in ten minutes. Not bad.

I'm totally using this for NaNo.

Just another quack spouting psychobabble.

If I'm working on a story I'm slower so I type like 300 words in 20 minutes. :lol:

This is a godsend, I swear. Thanks so much Dr. Wicked and tiny tin fish for this. I think you two just made my chance of surviving this month go from 0% to 1 :elephant:

For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
