I write my initial draft in Scrivener, so use the Project Statistics which keeps track of my overall workout and my day's target, so I always know how far I still need to go. But I'm impressed with the thought of my phone keeping track and nagging me when I don't feel like writing!Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-67059248936183566332016-09-30T12:56:36.928-07:002016-09-30T12:56:36.928-07:00I hear you Marian!

I also love the idea of being able to put the odd 'wasted' time spots (i.e. QUEUEING!) to good use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176552339254578613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-45273697817632200092016-09-30T12:53:57.103-07:002016-09-30T12:53:57.103-07:00Pam, you are magnificent.

It's better than random notes as the things you jot down are already organised and easy to find. I'm impressed!<br /><br />I've been wanting to comment on your last post (I will still go do it, I've been too jealous hehehe) What an incredible experience you had! Lunch with Ted! *sobs* I chatted to him briefly online during his last course sign up - what a great, down-to-earth guy. He is truly being used as a catalyst for writers. <br /><br />I'm so excited for you Ian.

I can pick a word count (e.g. 1000 words) or a time limit, and it blocks everything on the PC until I've met that goal. Everything. <br /><br />So I love it because it gets me writing, but I hate it because ... well, sometimes I can't actually think of that 1000 words I set, but I have to do it anyway!Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.com
