I don’t advocate this for a serious writing project (see: Kamikaze Mode, below), but as a tool for writing exercises, I think it’s brilliant.

Meet Write or Die, a cruel and twisted little application that nudges you when you get distracted and stop typing.

You set the delay interval, and you also choose your consequences, from the following:

* 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

Evil.

Brilliant.

In fact, I’m using it to write this post.

If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
