Here's another site that's come in handy for me: http://750words.com/
I've been using it for a while but for some reason it didn't occur to me to post it until today. This probably won't help you in any practical way, like give you a template or provide advice, but I've found that it helps me get up and keep going during the "desert of desertion" moments.
For example: this weekend, I've been feeling really down and low-energy and couldn't figure out why until I had a word-purge; toward word 400 or so, I sussed out that I'd been sitting around and waiting for something, instead of taking action and going for it. Granted, lots of people use blogs for this, but for me, knowing that the only reason I log in is to sweep out the cobwebs or shine a light on everything I'm using as an excuse for not getting started has been super helpful. I hope that it might prove as handy to some of you as well, even if you're not working on a writing project.
