It's a preference panel--I only turn it on when I feel like I need the boost. You can also adjust the volume and change to different kinds of audio feedback. You can, yes!

It allows me to turn on typewriter noises for my keyboard. It seems like the sound of a typewriter busily clacking as I type could be a fun cure for slow writing days.

A game or a little bit of competitiveness goes a long way with me. During NaNo, I check out my "buddies" word counts and if I'm close to someone who is ahead of me, I often will keep going just to beat them! LOL! And I think some of them do it back to me the next day! LOL! I’m with you, Stormy! A game or a little bit of competitiveness goes a long way with me.

Lol! The way I make anything more fun is to turn it into a game. That's why word wars are really great for me. But even if I don't have someone else around I can use writing as a reward for every chore I complete around the house or video games as a reward for getting writing done. This way, I'm being productive in other areas of my life and making progress in my writing as well! Now it makes sense that my favorite color is green! Lol!
