Write or Die
Putting the "Prod" in Productivity
Now would be a great time to have an iPad. It’s not like I’m behind or anything *cough*only22398*cough*. Shame I don’t though.
Thank you for putting it on sale! I have been using the online version for the last two days and built my word count from around 6k to 21k. Finally, I will have it on my iPad.
I wish it’d gone on sale earlier this month :c 3 days left and I’ve got 6k to write.
Seriously, Write or Die is great. It gives me motivation to write even when I’m really not feeling it. It’s really ramping up my wpm, as well. I can usually get 60 wpm averages, which I rarely ever do without the incentives that WoD gives me for stopping. It’s well-worth the money.
So “the rest of November” does not include Nov. 30th? The price is 9.99 now.
Ack. I procrastinated too long!
Help! I want to download the app for the discounted price but it still shows $9.99! If I purchase it, will the discounted price of $4.99 be applied? Today’s Nov. 30 so I do want to take advantage of the sale!
Ah shoot ! I just missed it ! And I’ve been using Write or Die for more than a year now, perhaps two. If only I knew earlier =C ! I share your awesome WorD on facebook and Google+. I’m just sad I missed it !
Drats, I just discovered this today (as a result of linking from someone posting “Written? Kitten.” to Facebook while procrastinating). I had never heard of your product previously. What’re the chances it’ll ever go on sale again?
@Andrea that’s strange, because that’s how I got here too haha!
Please tell me the truth, and the place I split it up at might be the end of the fist chapter and the beggining of the second one. Tell me if it is a good splitting point.
———————-Chapter 1————————
When I was ten, it happened. Right then I knew it. I knew fairies didn’t exist. I knew there was no such thing as a fairytale, or all stories ended with ‘Happily Ever After’. I knew not all stepmothers were evil (from experience). I knew there was no ‘magic mirror’ that said you were the ‘fairest one of all’ or princes that kissed you and you were released from your spell and stuff like that. At least, I thought so. I was wrong, dead wrong, some things I knew were right, but others, I was wrong. Things change, points of view differ, people change sides, people dearest to you die. My name is Suzanna Maytan, this is my story.
That morning I kept hearing a strange, beautiful, ringing sound. Where would a bell be ringing at this time, 6:27 AM? I wondered time and time again as I pulled on a shirt slowly. Then a booming voice called my name, my sister, Susan, “Zanna! Time to go to!” “‘Kay! I woke up at what?” I glanced at the clock briefly, “Eight minutes ago? Three minutes more, okay?” I yelled tiredly from upstairs, rubbing my eyes. “Fine, come down by 6:32 I don’t wanna be late! Girls’ day out! ‘Member?” Susan half shouted with joy. Wow. How could I forget? She rambled on it for what? A month? Three weeks? Well, I couldn’t forget. It was a week before school started, and the sun was pretty bright. Susan, My dear Susan, You sure do love getting to the mall early, I thought, tugging on a pair of blue jeans and tying on a purple cloth. Susan always drags me to her ‘mall adventures’ whether I like it or not. Unless it was about time for school. I’m a procrastinator. Then I sped down the stairs, rubbing my eyes raw, and just like me, tripped down the last on and bumped my forehead, exactly like me. Then I went outside, holding my head in my hands and greeted Susan.
“Hello.”
“Hi, here’s an icepack.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem.”
Susan always has an icepack ready; she knows I’m a klutz. Susan yawned and patted her long, blonde hair down. I slammed the door and buckled myself in. Then we were off, I didn’t expect what happened next, not in a million, trillion, zillion years. A life-changing journey, when I thought, no, knew, I wasn’t special. Man, I was so wrong.
———–(Possible end of chapter one)————————
. Then, out of the blue, “Odd dreams? Anyone?” asked Susan. It startled me. Then, I raised my hand all hyper-like going ‘ohh ohh pick me pick me!!’. Susan laughed and said, “Okay, Zanna you go!” Then I started, “Well, I was flying on a blue firebird that was enormous, and then I was on a peak of a mountain with a river. I mean a river on a mountain! Who would believe that? Also, there was a lean-to. These two guys came towards me and tried to talk to me, but I didn’t hear anything coming out of there mouths. The three creatures, including the firebird, came towards me. I was sweating really hard and panting. Then,” I said melodramatically, “I woke up. Odd huh?” I looked at Susan. She was very pale, paler than usual when she turns pale. Before I could open my mouth Susan laughed bizarrely, “Yeah, I know.” I know her; she is an open book to me, Greek to others. I could tell she was scared, trying to cover her worries with smiles and laughter. My Chemical Romance was the silence in the car. Soon, Susan was singing along laughing. I relaxed, but still tense. Clouds crept over the sky. Cumulus clouds. It’s scary how you remember the tiniest details on a life-changing day. Five minutes ago it was an uber bright day, I thought, what happened to all the bright sunshine? I looked at Susan. Susan was still pale, but her normal pale, not that being pale is normal, but she is her usual pale when she gets pale. So, I completely relaxed. “Well, dun-dah-dun!! We are here!” Susan half-yelled saying ‘we are here’ one at a time, very distinctly. I got out of the car I slammed the door absentmindedly. With the thoughts in my head, it felt like it weighed two tons. So, I let my head train itself to the ground. A little boy called out, “Hey! Mommy! Look! Up in the sky! See the blue birdie?” His mother replied, “Now, now honey don’t be… don’t be silly…What the heck is that thing!” Then everyone, when I say everyone I mean everyone, except for me, I didn’t hear anything, got quiet and looked up. Then, there was silence. Complete and utter silence. Then there was the scream. The scream that shatters the silence. Then, it echoed. Soon, everyone was screaming aloud. Everything was on the ground, spilled, and scattered all over the black pavement. Clothes, sodas, hair products, all of them. I finally looked up and my eyes were wide open. People got over the silence stage and the screaming stage and got to the running stage. I stayed glued to the ground, my legs were
Will you create an android version?

I look forward to reading everything you post. Also, your taste in music is incredible! By the way, Tori Amos, Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain, Trent Reznor, Maynard James Keenan.. hmm you’re a sneaky one
Hi everyone, I have tweeted, email, etc. to no avail. I paid for this software but have not received a download link. This is really annoying. I advise – if you paid within the last 45 days, click on the Resolution Center through paypal – hopefully they can get your money back.
The process of buying a car can be extremely taxing. Some people might not know a lot about cars, but there are others who know too
much and constantly feel like they aren’t getting a good deal. You can get the best car at the best price by following this advice.
