It has been some days now that I have wanted to use this writing tool “write or die” available at www.writeordie.drwicked.com. This looks to be a very interesting web based tool for people like me who are prone to multiple distractions when they sit to write. Today is the first time I am using this tool and the first article that I am writing here is on the tool itself and how my emotions are running as I work on this writing tool.
For starters, this tool as I understand is programmed to be an aid for you to avoid distractions. There seems to be various levels of punishment which we can choose from. What makes it interesting is that there is a twitter widget which shows what people are saying about this tool. It actually is very interesting to read what people have to say on how they are using this tool. Any author just wrote in to say that she typed 1000 words of her novel using this tool. It is really incredible if this tool is helpful as it is being made to be.
As I am writing I find that the white screen behind turns pink for a few seconds and then changes. I wonder what that is for. However, I am continuing to write as I have programmed this to write 400 words in 10 minutes. I actually do not know what will happen once that time elapses; probably I will only be able to write about that in my next blog post if something drastic is to happen. It is 4 minutes and 6 seconds now and I have only written 224 words here. Actually it is interesting to note how the mind works. When we are sitting away from the computer thinking about the next article we wish to write there are hundreds of ideas gushing past our mind. However, when we actually sit in front of the computer to begin writing, we realize how difficult it is to assimilate the ideas and get the flow of words out from our minds. I find that my mind has suddenly hit a road block all my ideas are feeling lost.
I am still working hard on this article. 1 minute and 26 seconds to go and I have to write another 75 words to reach 400. I think I will be able to do it. I think I can make it. This is actually getting very exciting, provided I do not make any mistakes that I have to go back and delete. Now it is 30 seconds to go and 30 words to writing. I don’t think I will make it but I will still try to do it, smaller the words the better to reach my target. It is almost the end and I think I can do it.
Can u believe it; I actually succeed in writing those 400 words in 10 minutes. Wow. That’s a good show. This looks to be a great tool to be in the resource centre of my blog. I am all excited about this, will now make it more challenging may be I will think about a topic before I begin writing. That will make it all the more difficult. I realize that the piece that I have written is not very intelligent, it is just what I was doing and that is what made it possible to complete the article – I think.
I have edited this post substantially to make it readable.
