Simply put, the program turns your entire screen in a blank canvas. I see friends furrow their brows trying to figure out just why I’m excited about it.
#LIKE OMMWRITER DOWNLOAD#
Sure enough, as Linda promised, you can download a version free and I did just that.Įven when I describe it now, it doesn’t make sense why this is so good. So, as Ommwriter is supposedly all about just that, I checked it out. I hated the beast (the typewriter, not my mother) but remember the sound of the keys fondly. I decided I needed to make myself chalk out two hours in the day when I would definitely write – no interruptions, no researching, no checking references and DEFINITELY no web surfing. Multiply that by six (the number of days I work) and that adds up to a lot of things getting way behind schedule. But I find that I can spend my day fighting so many fires that I sit down at the end of the day (or is that stand up? Being a writer means sitting down for most of the time, after all) and see that I’ve done little or no real creative writing for all that effort. If you’re really lucky, you get some time for editing before the deadline is actually on you. Indeed, squeezed into that writing has to come that vital food substance for all writers – reading. It seems that being a freelance writer these days is more about promotion, accounting, pitching and planning than it is about writing. I genuinely can’t remember why I clicked on Linda‘s link – perhaps it was just a whim? Perhaps it was to check it out anyway because I knew I was struggling to get down to writing.
#LIKE OMMWRITER WINDOWS#
Why not just open your word program up and let Windows media play your favourite CD or MP3 files? You could, but usually I find I get too into the music and I quickly start editing my work on Word rather than writing it. Basically, Ommwriter blanks out your desktop, gives you some music in the background and lets you write. While my wife could get excited about OneNote as a general research and laptop ‘housekeeping’ tool and so set off to find the equivalent for her Mac, she’s not a creative writer and really can’t see what’s special about Ommwriter .Īnd I have to admit that when Linda wrote about it I was not overly impressed by the sound of it. I’ve started boring to my family and friends because I’ve done nothing but rant about OneNote and Ommwriter for the last week. This program – called Ommwriter – has revolutionised my writing routine and it can do the same for you too.
Having told you last time about my discovery of OneNotethanks to the girls at WITS, I have since discovered another helpful program courtesy of Linda Formichelli at The Renegade Writer. I suspect it isn’t every writer’s cup of whiskey, but if – like me – you find yourself easily distracted…and struggling to get some decent writing done…then Ommwriter could be the answer.
