holycrap.
Let me just on record and say that Write or Die is AMAZING. Much like the first person I saw recommending it (and there've been a few), I sometimes have trouble sitting down and forcing myself to focus when I'm writing -- especially when I'm writing for fun rather than an assignment -- but this program TOTALLY WORKED OMG.
Basically, you give it your goal wordcount and time, and it opens a bare bones space for you to type your text. The trick is that if you stop writing for too long, it will "punish" you. There are three levels of punishment: one that just gives you a pop-up, one that plays a harsh sound, and one that actually starts DELETING YOUR WORK if you wait too long! It's great, because it makes you focus on just getting the words out -- editing can be saved for December later.
Anyway, I'm sort of weak, so I went with the medium "punishment", and I only had a warning one time! *is so proud* Now, let's just hope I can keep it up.
