NaNoWriMo hit your word count even when you are away from your computer

For those of you read my blog you know I love technology and I love writing. NaNoWriMo is that time of the year where all the budding authors come out to play. But for those who are committed to finishing their novel by the end of the month meetings those daily word counts can be stressful. But fear not now you can hit your word count, while you are waiting in the doctors office, the DMV, ordering lunch, riding on public transportation.

When you are trying to hit a word count and you are limited on time being able to squeeze in some writing where you are can make the difference between successfully finishing NaNoWriMo or feeling like you have the worlds best cereal but no milk.

Enter technology for those of you with hectic busy schedules technology has come to save the day. And your life safer is closer than you think, yup your phone.

Download any text or word editing document such as Plain Text, iA Writer, Quick Office Pro, Documents to Go, Polaris Office etc., onto your phone.

And also snap up any of the following Dropbox, Sugarsync, Box, BoxNet, SkyDrive, GDrive etc you will need these in order to keep your files straight between your phone and computer. Now instead of sitting on the train playing fruit ninja you can squeeze 100 or 1000 words depending on the length of your commute and the transit Gods willingness to have allowed you the blessing of a seat while you tap out your purple prose.

If you are using a text/word editing app please share your experience.

Happy writing
