I know this sounds like a brag, but I made a New Year's resolution to do 1,000 words a day since January 1. I'll hit 70,000 tonight on my new novel project.
A lot of it is crap, but the object of the game is to make yourself write (rewriting comes later). After three weeks, you'll see yourself wanting to write, sometimes excited about what you could create next. A bit of warning: if you are going about a novel, spend some downtime (like during a weekend) coming up with an outline so you have virtual lilypads to jump to/land on when you make your daily goal.
Also, writing X amount of words a day is a terrific way to get conditioned for NaNoWriMo in November.
Interesting idea. If what I type is guaranteed to be private, I'll probably do it.
But I'm skeptical so far of the algorithm thingy telling me what state of mind I'm in. Accurately. I don't think I need to be told what kind of mood I'm in. Maybe I'm missing something, I have a foggy impression of all this so far
I appreciated the site's analysis of my writing today, but I think that sometimes I will not be in the mood for someone else's interpretation.
I also appreciated being congratulated for typing 750 in one go, without distractions.
