So, do you have to retype all that to make it count for the contest?

i was about to ask the same question your mom did . .

No, I don't actually have to retype - a lot of people write their whole novels by hand. I probably will, both to keep my story straight and because I'd have to count all the words by hand otherwise (eeeeewwww).

Write or Die is basically a timed writing program where you set a word and minute goal, and basically type like you've had too much coffee. If you stop typing, the screen turns a light pink, then gradually gets darker and darker until it is bright red. Then annoying sounds start to play.

It is remarkably effective.
