I’m really enjoying my new tool from WriteRoom! It is a program that allows for distraction free writing on your Mac. WriteRoom basically clears your screen so that  the only image is your text on a plain background. Here’s a screenshot of this blog in WriteRoom:

Here's what WriteRoom looks like on a full screen.

Notice how you can’t see any other programs, even your desktop is hidden.

So often we have multiple programs running on our computers at the same time and it really clutters our screens. Mac OS-X does a great job by adding a few features to the operating system, such as Expose and Spaces to help manage our systems. Add in another computer screen and you’d think you have the ability to keep your computer screen free from clutter. But with dozens of open e-mails, files, web browsers, and a myriad of other programs running, it’s inevitable that by lunch our computer will be one big mess. I really dislike shutting my MacBook down at the end of the day because I can’t close all the programs, but that’s another problem for another blog post.

I recommend you take a look at WriteRoom if you’re a writer that writes often, especially a blogger creating Internet marketing content. Furthermore, it might be helpful to explore using it  in conjunction with Spaces; I like the black text on grey background but everyone has their preferences. Either way, after a test blog or two  you may find it to be one of the best programs you’ve ever downloaded!
