Urge yourself to get your words on the screen without succumbing to procrastination by using customizable visual stimuli as either a deterrent or a reward. Turn on reward mode, stimulus mod, or one of two consequence modes - kamikaze mode or startle mode--to spur your writing spree.

Other features include persistent, resetable writing stats (including average words per minute, total all time word count, and high scores), a simplified saving system and set and forget auto saving to ensure that you won't lose your writing, a sleek new user interface, a words-per-minute speedometer to give you a real-time readout of your current productivity, and extra-fine controls to customize your writing experience....
