  • 20:58 @unfocusedme Not imaginary, just not immediately tangible :) #
  • 20:58 @AletaMay Will try but no promises, saturdays are more problematic than fridays #

  • 21:49 @HeatherLaRoja What kind of troubles are you having my minions? :) #
  • 22:33 @randominuyasha what was your original time goal? And did you click done to pause at any time? #
  • 23:20 @randominuyasha Yeah, it counts from when you start, so technically it's accurate. Thanks for letting me know, will fix #
  • 11:06 @sharkie335 Just sent you a new download link to your gmail address #
  • 12:03 @EmmaGDelaney When did you download it? Usually it's only once a day. You can also check for updates manually in the help/about menu #
  • 12:03 @EmmaGDelaney But 1.09 is the latest version #
  • 12:09 RT @digitalflaneur7: write or die is an amazing testament to technology's abilities to correct problems created by technology. #
  • 12:35 @EmmaGDelaney It might only automatically check if it knows that there's a new version out. Not sure on the mechanics, that's an AIR thing #
  • 12:35 @rclementmoore She looks devious, and coasters are widely known to be delicious. #
  • 13:59 @teagardenMN Hello there! Thanks for the follow, I heart teaG. I recommend @cotweet to help manage your account bit.ly/2JVXFo #
  • 14:21 Working presently on implementing Undo in Write or Die Desktop, will be out in next version. #
  • 14:25 @_decode_ In case people accidentally select all their text and delete it. Glad you like it! :0 #
  • 15:09 Yay! Undo works! Next step, Stealth mode for secret office writing #
  • 15:16 @MildlyAmused That's awesome #
  • 15:17 @dreamrock I've done that before, I just move the document off the bottom of the screen, so I'm less self-conscious. #
  • 15:17 @dreamrock You could also do white (or nearly white) text on a white background. #
  • 16:22 @JayElleBee There's an option to just use a credit card without having a paypal account. In the bottom left corner of the payment page #
  • 16:23 @sinful_cinnamon Aiming for release this evening #
  • 17:14 @sinful_cinnamon It will update automatically, or you can manually check for updates on the help/about page in the app. #
  • 19:49 @Asheyna With the Desktop Edition you can customize your sound, and no rick-rolling :) #
  • 20:11 @Asheyna If you can install Adobe AIR you can install Write or Die desktop. bit.ly/fFUsb #
  • 20:24 @Asheyna Did a bit of digging, how to install Adobe AIR on jolicloud bit.ly/h2G6T #

  • 20:44 @danth_guyth You in town for the Paul & Quiche concerts this weekend? #
  • 20:49 @TomDavenport Doing very well, almost 900 sales. It's where people can connect (over jabber) and race to get the most words #

  • 22:38 That'll teach me to paste across computers: Just got one of these and it's freaking adorable: bit.ly/25RvNp (7" USB mini-monitor) #
  • 22:44 Sorry for Synergy clipboard copy fail. Tweetdeck is open on 3rd monitor on 2nd computer. Usually works well. #
  • 22:45 @PaperClippe I didn't know strip-twitter was a game #
  • 22:52 Nerd Stat: I have 5,841,920 pixels pointing at me. #
  • 22:54 @PaperClippe It's like the dirty butterfly effect #
  • 09:08 @Cincrane What OS are you running? And are you using fullscreen or regular windowed mode? #
  • 10:09 @Cincrane And I'm guessing you don't have "Disable done until goals met" checked? #
  • 12:56 @jedidiplomat Per user, if you need another link for a second computer, just e-mail me #
  • 12:57 @Cincrane Hmmm, I will look into this, what goals are you setting? I did mean disable save, should rename that. #
  • 15:55 @ohmylands What don't you understand? Happy to help in any way I can. #
  • 17:25 @alyssa_day I've done acupuncture for TMJ, which is like a migraine in your jaw. It works really well, induces weird dreams #
  • 18:14 RT @_Noni_: using Write or Die for homework makes it a ton more fun! #
  • 18:53 @madciapka I thought about it, but I would open myself up even more to piracy if I did as AIR apps are hard to secure. IMO: web WoD = trial #
  • 19:38 @Fizen meet @Oplura, now, wordwar! #
  • 19:44 #NaNoWriMo encouragements: If you are only just starting tonight at word zero, you still need less than 2,000 words per day. #

  • 21:48 FYI I'm not saying it's impossible to be successful at self-publishing, see @howardtayler. I'm just advocating forethought. #
  • 21:53 RT @howardtayler: FYI, @DrWicked, I counsel against self-publishing. The conditions for success are easy to describe and VERY hard to meet. #
  • 21:56 @jillmyles Do you play PC or Xbox L4D? If PC, I am DoctorWicked on Steam. #
  • 22:19 @Jhaea There are other options! There's normal mode and gentle mode, neither of which will eat your words! #
  • 22:56 @aramina Glad you like it : ) #
  • 23:15 Just got a mail that says I've overpaid on credit card by $300. Odd they haven't been ringing off the hook as when I owe them. #
  • 23:21 @websterwer True that. #
  • 23:22 @doycet But with traditional publishing it's less likely that you'll be actively engaged in causing your own bankruptcy. #
  • 01:32 @CJtheWriter I doubt you'd get very long odds on that bet :) &gt;9,000 hits/day and rising. Average is ~1,200 #
  • 01:36 @irkdesu I don't have a referral program (yet, maybe, good idea) but if you'd like to put up the logo it is here: bit.ly/1as4a0 #
  • 01:37 @irkdesu And just link to writeordie.drwicked.com/buy/ and if I see crazy amounts of referrals from you there will be kickbacks ^_^ #
  • 01:51 @CJtheWriter Heehee, well, NOW I have. The only thing I don't understand is why you'd leave NZ for Canada of all places! #
  • 01:55 @kisslockchain What kind of file are you saving/adding to? It must be a plain text file with .txt extension. Also, wha t OS? #
  • 02:05 @CJtheWriter The same thing that's wrong with everywhere that's not New Zealand, with the possible exception of Madagascar: Not Gorgeous #
  • 02:07 @CJtheWriter I live in Minnesota, which is close enough to Canada and almost as liberal, let's trade. #
  • 13:28 @olgaorange24 You can copy and paste both into and out of Write or Die if that's what you were wondering. #
  • 14:29 #NaNoWriMo encouragement: If you write fast enough, your internal editor won't catch up till you're finished. #
  • 20:16 !@eldestmuse A spellchecker would defeat the purpose of Write or Die. I hate those little red squigglies when I'm trying to crank out words #
  • 20:17 @eldestmuse IMO, Write or Die is popular not for it's similarities to a word processor but for it's differences. #
  • 20:20 @eldestmuse Oh believe me I loath spelling errors as much as you, and it wouldn't be awful but in my experience, simple tools are better. #
  • 20:21 @eldestmuse Because then I can put a neat line between writing and editing, Word and OpenOffice have excellent spellcheckers, why reinvent? #
  • 20:22 @eldestmuse WoD is intended to be used in conjunction with some other awesome tools, i.e. Scrivener. #
  • 20:23 @eldestmuse I get where you're coming from, mostly I want to make the point that lack of spellcheck is intentional feature, not bug :) #
  • 20:25 @lights_aurora Woot! Thanks for the WoDvangelism! #
  • 20:30 @eldestmuse Not a bother at all! If I find a simple way to implement it I will definitely contemplate it. Thanks for using the program! #
  • 20:52 @alyssa_day Four Score and 700 pounds ago? #

  • 21:58 Write or Die Update v1.09 out tonight: Fixed Mac Word War. Fixed Done button not appearing when no wordgoal entered. #
  • 21:59 @Cincrane Hmm, you don't see the done button on the bottom of the write screen at all? #
  • 22:10 @damaddok what don't you like? #
  • 23:06 My Left 4 Dead 2 demo won't start, clearly this is a sign that I need to be writing. #
  • 23:24 @randominuyasha E-mail me at doctorwicked@gmail.com and I'll send you a new link. #
  • 10:55 @catvalente Your secret, time-traveler identity revealed at last! #
  • 11:27 RT @PaperClippe: Francoise Sagan:'Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen, and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say.' #
  • 11:33 I don't really want the NCIS Soundtrack Volume 2, but I do want the CD cover as a huge poster: bit.ly/1DIJBF #
  • 11:40 @pseudosu She's standing next to Gibbs #
  • 12:15 Burning Ubuntu LiveCD to do some Write or Die: Desktop Edition testing. Stay tuned. #
  • 14:29 I love bubble tea with pearls, if you're in Minneapolis, Tea Garden is the place. noctur.nl/9zvxszz #
  • 14:52 @herasings Pearls are a subset of bubbles I think, you can also get jellies which are fruit flavored. And yes, royal tea is awesome. #
  • 14:53 @modernevil Write or Die Desktop Edition has wordwar with realtime updating progress #
  • 15:20 Anyone who's having trouble getting Write or Die:DE (and Adobe AIR) running on Linux, check this out: bit.ly/13fp5g #
  • 15:29 Info rmal Poll: What is the most important question someone can ask you about your story to help you write the next part? #
  • 15:56 I just realized I probably type enough words in IM to meet my quota and wouldn't it be nice to have an IM bot to tell your story to. #
  • 16:02 @SBassoon I am doing the mental equivalent of the Charleston. #
  • 16:14 @SBassoon QUICK! Rocket Man by Elton John! It's the only way! #
  • 16:16 @Rhoulette Time to re-roll for initiative. #
  • 16:19 @Junglemonkey Yeah, I think that's the basic functionality I'm going for, I think people would respond well simply because of the format #
  • 16:22 #NaNoWriMo Encouragement: Short story writers have to fit a WHOLE PLOT in the words you've written so far. Be thankful for 50k. #
  • 16:23 @fabulouslorrain Probably should, but I have this Write or Die flock to attend to, they're all mewing for upgrades and bugfixes :) #
  • 16:29 @fabulouslorrain Write or Die is a tool that helps writers keep writing by providing consequences for distraction. bit.ly/2PYFLC #
  • 16:31 @fabulouslorrain Just sent you a complimentary copy of the Desktop Edition :) #
  • 16:32 @fabulouslorrain Zees ees vhat vee call zee irony #
  • 16:33 @fabulouslorrain Well, there's only one Quiche and there are A LOT of aspiring writers out there. #

  • 23:28 Remember #NaNoWriMo-ers, you get one whole FREE hour tonight, that is, if you live in a DST-observing area. #
  • 23:40 @oodja That is definitely the way to do it! #
  • 23:40 RT @oodja: @DrWicked And if you start #NaNoWriMo in Australia and finish in Hawaii? Bonus day of writing! #
  • 08:32 @HarryBaker That's not the only way to play! There are 3 different modes in Write or Die, only kamikaze mode deletes, and only one word/sec #
  • 09:22 The official #NaNoWriMo progress widget is broken so I've posted the code for mine: writeordie.drwicked.com/#blog #
  • 09:25 @faltarego That is something that confuses me as well, if anything I'd think it would be the other way round. How much larger is it in oO? #
  • 09:45 Wow, my widget was broken too! Fixed now, thanks @DotSeven #NaNoWriMo #
  • 10:09 @faltarego I bet I know why. Write or Die counts spaces but linebreaks don't count as spaces. I bet you have a fair number of paragraphs. #
  • 10:21 @faltarego Ah ha! That must be it then, you're not the first to report this problem, thanks for helping out ! #
  • 10:37 @ChibiBoo That's how you know it's working! #
  • 10:43 @donttrythis @BillCorbett They'll learn about Taxes sooner or later, who better to learn it from than their parents? #
  • 10:49 @amgamble Heehee, I certainly hope not. Didn't break last year, with over 200,000 unique hits. #nanowrimo #
  • 12:06 @kristalshaff That's tricksy to implement and believe me I tried, look in you documents/writeordie/ folder, it saves everything upon exit #
  • 12:07 @kristalshaff I definitely intend to implement that feature, but it was causing bad crashes right before release so went with auto-save #
  • 14:14 #NaNoWriMo Encouragement: To write your daily wordcount in 1 hour, you only have to type 28 wpm. You speak at 100 wpm. #
  • 17:18 !@mercedesmy If you don't already have a love/hate relationship with writing, you've not been at it long enough :) #
  • 19:18 @sinful_cinnamon Did you delete it or just fail to save? There's an autosave directory under your documents folder, named writeordie #
  • 19:37 @sinful_cinnamon I am very sorry that happened to you! :( I will see what I can do to warn ppl b4 that happens #
