OneWord - OneMinute

Do you want to be inspired. Do you need to write because that is how you improve - BY WRITING! Here is a concept that will be both fun and helpful. It is very simple. When you press the "GO" button you will see one word at the top of the new page. Then you have sixty seconds to write about it. Again it is very simple - as soon as you click "go" the page will load with the cursor in place and ready. Don't Think. Just Write.
