Not exactly Magic Windows, but close enough

I'm struggling to meet a writing deadline (how does anybody do this every month for years? Yes, I'm asking you, Roy...) and just found a big helping hand: WriteRoom. It does just what it says it does, expertly well.

As somebody who basically learned to compose prose during my K-12 years while seated at an Apple ][+, a full screen with only a black background and green text is surprisingly supportive of just getting stuff done.

(And there's even a clone for windows called Dark Room.)

Now to get back to that piece...

I'm also a huge fan of WriteRoom - it really cuts down on distractions. Merlin @ 43 Folders did a post on de-distractifying your Mac desktop... helpful for those of us who are easily distracted by shiny, beepy or bouncy things.
