WriteRoom

De ite the fact that I have a shaky at best gra on my native English tongue, I am paid to write things. Unfortunately for my paycheck, a combination of ADD and a co tant barrage of notificatio from NetNewsWire, Mail, Colloquy, and Adium co ire to distract me from my duties. Until of course, Michael at binarybo ai posted about a simple little program by the name of WriteRoom.

WriteRoom does one thing, and does it well; it makes you focus on what you are writing by making the entire screen a text field. Merlin Ma at 43 Folders posted a hack a few months ago to accomplish this using Backdrop, but WriteRoom makes de-cluttering your work ace as simple as opening the a lication. Of course, now that my computer doe 't have anything to distract me with, I find myself looking longingly out the window at a beautiful San Francisco summer afternoon, but thats besides the point. WriteRoom is available as a free Universal Binary download.
