The wonderful dark side of writing
How often haven’t I found myself looking away from the demanding blinking cursor on the word processor’s white page? Instead, my eyes have been gazing at the numerous colorful and more or less useful icons located in the toolboxes outside of the writing area. These visual explorations distract me too often from my actual task of plain writing.
Now, I’ve found the cure for my distress; it’s a small application called DARKROOM (PC) or WRITEROOM (Mac) and it’s a wonderful, simple and black experience for writers. You start out with a black full screen and you just start to write – no tools, no icons, just writing! And it’s free!
The PC version DARKROOM can be downloaded from http://they.misled.us/dark-room (Windows XP) and the Mac version WRITEROOM can be found at http://hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom (OS X 10.4 or later).
