Write Or Die

This guy has a future.

This is a nifty little website for those of you who, like me, have no problem sitting down to write, and staying seated…but slowly migrating from your Word document on over to the NaNoWriMo Forums, or your email, or IM.

You choose your settings and start typing in the box, and if you pause for more than a few seconds, you are punished. The punishments range from mild (a pop-up box appears and nags you to keep typing) to severe (your words begin to disappear, one by one). When you reach your word count or time goal, it stops, and you are free to copy your work onto your final document, and play again.

Watch the video. Smart guys with a sense of humor rule.
