Write or Die!

Another dissertation-writing friend passed this link along: Write or Die! You type in either a word count or a time required or both, and then you can set the settings of the program's responses to Gentle, Evil, Strict, etc. I did a test drive of 100 words, and after I finished, it played a fanfare. Sad to say, it felt great! and all I did was type nonsense. I suppose failing would produce something nearer the rack. It may come in handy when I'm stuck and just need to get words on paper (or screen).
