Overview
- Writer's block is one of the most common challenges faced by writers. Sometimes the hardest part of writing is simply getting started. The longer a writer spends staring at a blank page, the harder it becomes to begin.
- Write For Your Life (WFYL) is a writing challenge application inspired by The Most Dangerous Writing App. The core idea is simple: keep writing or lose everything.
- WFYL creates urgency and encourages creative flow by enforcing continuous writing. If the writer stops typing for longer than a specified amount of time, all writing from the current session is permanently erased. The only way to succeed is to keep writing.
- Unlike similar applications, WFYL allows for customizing the writing experience through adjustable timer, timeout settings and writing prompts.
How It Works
- Select a topic or allow the application to randomly select one.
- Choose the inactivity timeout.
- Choose a writing timer.
- Start writing.
- Continue typing to keep the countdown timer from reaching zero.
- If the timer reaches zero before the writing session is complete, all text is deleted.
- Once the timer reaches zero, the work can be saved.
