Write or Die

Hello, Fellow NRAS Writers Workshop! Heather here, with a little somethin' somethin' you might like.

Write or Die Dr. Wicked's Writing Lab to be found at: http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html is a web application that encourages writing by punishing the tendency to avoid writing. Start typing in the box. As long as you keep typing, you're fine, but once you stop typing, you have a grace period of a certain number of seconds and then there are consequences.

Many people find themselves unable to write consistently. If you find yourself easily distracted, you may find the Write or Die site quite helpful.

A tangible consequence is more effective than an intangible reward.Write or die satisfies this need to be held to the fire.

Consequences:

• Gentle Mode: A certain amount of time after you stop writing, a box will pop up, gently reminding you to continue writing.
• Normal Mode: If you persistently avoid writing, you will be played a most unpleasant sound. The sound will stop if and only if you continue to write.
• Kamikaze Mode: Keep Writing or Your Work Will Unwrite Itself

Check it out and let us know what you think.
