More Tools for Writers

Writers will do anything to keep from writing when they hit a wall...
I wanted a word progress meter and found that several no longer work. In searching I found a couple cool tools.

Ambition
Crime Pursued by Vengeance
Descension
Murderous Adultery
Rescue
Conflict with a God
Adultery
Abduction
