NaNoTools

I’m planning on entering this year’s NaNoWriMo.  This won’t be my first time entering, but I have yet to win; real life keeps getting in the way.  This year I will be living in the barracks in Halifax, and apart from my classes I will have nothing but time.  With minor distractions (literally minors, they’re 8 and 2 – the kids) on the other side of the country, I should be able to finish this year.

Because I am a (mostly) out-of-practice programmer, I intend to build an application to help me with this task.  Some features that I have planned for NaNoTools (name to be fixed later) are:

• Text editing (duh)
• Live word count
• Daily word count stats
• Planning calendar
• Word sprint tracking

Any WriMos have suggestions as to features that they would like to see?
