Meeting #33 - 03/03/10

It was indeed Kilroy the mouse! Nice work to all you super-sleuths for figuring out last week's mystery in The Eleventh Hour.

Barbara was tagged last week and she delivered. This time, it's Anthony's turn to write something... or else there will be no treats for him!

I also released Demo 2 of my Orphan Wars game. I will be putting it online soon, for those of you who didn't get a chance to come to the meeting.

EDIT--Here it is!

Next week, we're having the meeting at Rachel's house, like usual. Here are a few things to keep you entertained until then:



Here's something a bit more writing-related. It's a website/program called Write Or Die. Basically, it's a tool for getting writers to, well... actually write. Turn it on and it will help you stay on-task and getting the words down. There are three settings: Gentle, Normal, and Kamikaze. If you stop writing for a while, the screen will turn from white to red and then one of three things will happen, depending on what mode you set the program to. Gentle will nicely remind you to keep writing. Normal mode will make annoying sounds, forcing you to return to writing if you want them to stop. And finally, Kamikaze mode will slowly delete the words you've written, one by one! So if you don't want your hard work to get deleted, you'll keep the words coming at a steady pace. Check it out here.
