Write or Die
Dr Wicked has created something which may force you to write.
It's called Write or Die, and it's quite a nice wee program, actually.
You tell it how many words you want to type, and in what time frame. It counts them down as you go, and if you pause for too long it gets angry with you. Hate to imagine what it does if you don't make it! You can copy and paste your text after you're finished. The only downside is the loss of spellchecker or formatting, but then that's easily remedied if you paste it into a document.
I've used it for a pesky 500 word chunk, and I'm just going to go try 1,000 in it. Maybe set myself a half hour goal. Will reach the 30k mark today for NaNoWriMo, by hook or by crook!

How do you find all these things??? BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT WRITING. For shame! SHAME!
Go Laura!
Lucy - I write, I write! I don't know where I saw this, actually. Hmm.
Pots - thank you! Threshold crossed.
I found a link to it t'other day and tried it for the first time today. It worked, after a fashion. I wrote some twaddle which turned out to be mildly diverting. Reckon I'll use it when I need a kickstart.
Yeah - that's what I'm using it for too Laurence. Had a pesky 500 words the other day and it did help.
