sherryillkNext hour and a half, I'm going to Write or Die!
Goal: 2472 words to put me at 15,000 by the end.
Fingers crossed!
And as always, FictionJunction Yuuka to see me through it. I've got my soy chocolately coffee to warm me up and to give comfort and my Bear-chan to give me hugs. ^^
I can't believe I'm actually doing this. My consequences are in the Kamikaze Mode (since I'm too much of a coward for Electric Shock Mode and not that much of a wimp for the Normal or Gentle Modes) and my Grace Period is Evil because I don't want a grace period! Gonna push this out if it kills me. Push my way past the Weasleys to meet the plot!
edit x1: I ended it with about 11 minutes to go. I reached my goal early so I thought I would stop when I got to a good place. In the end, I wrote 2775 words in about an hour and 20 minutes. Not bad.
Write or Die is a bit sadistic... If you pause for any significant amount of time, it starts to erase words. First, the page just starts turning red before it becomes really, really red and deleting your work. I couldn't even take time to drink my coffee and it got cold. T_T
But it's definitely a motivator to just keep on writing... If only to save your work. There's not a lot of thinking allowed and I'm not sure I like that, but it does force you to churn out words so I guess it works. I don't know if I want to try it again though... :\
