Written? Kitten!

This is an awesome web based application and really fun and helpful, especially for NaNoWriMo.

It’s called Written? Kitten!  For every 100 words written, it displays the picture of a new kitten.  I’ve tried this before, but I’ve been using it to help write my NaNoWriMo.  Wrote out a small 259 word scene I’ve had in my head since I began writing.

The text as written in Written? Kitten!

Bridge of the Barrow’s Revenge

The crew was continuing their basic routines on the bridge. To the untrained eye, it was all routine, but secretly, they had set things in motion for a surprise attack. They knew about the Jackai ship following them. They also knew it was the infamous Hyna’s Dread. The fighter craft were in position, weapons had been quietly primed and the crew was ready. All they had to do was wait.

It wasn’t much longer, now.

Norrin made a motion and whistled as she caught sight of movement on her scanners. The crew silently watched as the radioactive trail began to grow, the burst of pulse engines pushing a ship forward. Finally, they saw the bulk of it beginning to crest a small asteroid that it was hiding behind. Norrin was the first to call out, but as instructed by Crena, she did not sound the red alert klaxon.

“Jackai ship, bearing down on us, Captain,” she called out with some urgency, but kept her voice calm.

Crena looked up and saw the ship, picked up a sugar cube from the sugar bowl at the command console, dropped it into her tea and stirred carefully, then sipped it for taste. “Mr Gor’lan,” she said in a calm voice.

“Aye, Captain,” Gor’lan replied in a very dignified manner, ready to take his orders.

Crena took up another sugar cube, dropped it into her tea cup, stirred carefully and sipped. Satisfied, she looked to Gor’lan and grinned. “Set the plan in motion, Mr. Gor’lan. Fire at will.”
