Here's what I wrote (yes, there's a typo)
of course I found this at Molly O'Neill's blog. Where else?

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
The problem with that mode of writing is the (nx100)+1 and (nx100)+2 words are inevitably YAY! KITTEN!
ReplyDeleteThe reader might find that taxing, after a while.
Awesome inspiration to write more - ima haz kittiez....
ReplyDelete(Did I do that right? Is there a universal translator for kitty language?)
That site got me through NaNo this year! Nothing as inspiring as getting kittens for treat (even only as photos. Wonder how many real kittens I would have?)
ReplyDelete"This 100 words makes me realize how hard my clients work. When they say 2000 words a day, I secretly thought...yeah, is that so hard?"
ReplyDeleteYou just made me proud to be a writer.
I found Written? Kitten! This past November from the NaNo crowd and I (unsuccessfully) tried to pit it against Write or Die. Something didn't feel right when I was torturing a character... with a kitten looking at me. *shakes head* I'll be using both writing prods.
I much prefer "Write or Die" as motivation to write. It stops me from checking facebook every five minutes to see if anything's happened.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this. So fun, so cute, so awesome. The only thing that would be better is if I could actually hug the kitten. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this.
It's cute and I can see it how someone struggling with word count could use this tool effectively.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm ready to work on my novel, putting down 8-10 thousand words a day isn't a challenge (except for that having to go to work and having to watch kids thing). I can't type fast enough. If I'm not ready (the novel's still developing in my subconscious), kittens won't help. I mean I can write a hundred words - I'm talkative - heck I probably have nearly a hundred here - but they won't be useful. They'll be crap that will turn me off working on *that* particular project for the duration if not ever.
But *I* am weird.
So cute! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan haz kittn, now?
