If you're a writer, published or aspiring, these tools are for you! Answer this: do you have a hard time getting started? Don't be shy even Jamie Hill admits it. You get an idea, you're at the computer fingers poised to type and then... three hours later you're still staring at a blank page. Don't let the distractions win!
1. For Writers Using Mac: White Room
2. For Writers Using Windows: Dark Room
Free Download
Some Word applications: Alt-V/U to go to Full Screen
Bonus: Java Dark Room (can be used with Windows, Mac, and Linux)
What are Whiteroom and Darkroom?
Both are in fact full screen distraction free writing environments that will allow you to write without the distractions that usually call to you such as your latest game of solitaire or your email. They offer this opportunity of undivided attention by taking away the toolbars and get it done quick buttons that are common in writing applications. You are left with just the words and a solid background. In both applications you can change the colors to suit you best.
The applications are admittedly primitive in that they don’t have spell check or grammar check, but that isn’t the point. You can fix those later. The point of these programs is to help you concentrate on the most essential thing: getting your thoughts down quick!
Now take a deep breath: ahhh… no more noise! Oh and get to typing!
