I had to giggle today when I was at critiquecircle.com. This is the online writing critique site I use with some of my short stories. There are a lot of very good writers there who can help with dead-ends, plot problems, grammar, dialogue, all that sort of thing.
I noticed a little tab in the corner that said “Tools” and thought I’d check it out. There was a submissions tracker, so you could track where you might be sending stories. There’s a name generator to help you find common or obscure names based on Census data. And then…there is what Critique Circle dubs The Ultimate Procrastination Tool:
Hangman.

I’ve discovered the ultimate procrastination tool on my new laptop: chess. It turns out Windows Vista comes with a pretty nice version of Chess. Eek!
