Writing in a Social World

In the days of super easy connectivity, it is a simple task to get distracted by all the different ways we can interact with people.

If you truly want to get some writing done without all the distractions then of course the best way is to unplug yourself from the internet (or disable your wireless) and go somewhere with no people, no flashing lights and no noise.

However, if you find yourself unable to take such extreme measures, there are other – less rash options available. One of them, is of course, the reason for this post.

It’s a small program called Dark Room (http://bit.ly/cbCIQv). It has no fancy text features and as a word processor it has about the same capabilities as Notepad. No grammar checks, no spelling. No Fonts. No Size changes.

But when you open it, it sets to full screen, hiding even your task bar. All that remains is you, and your text. Everything else is still there in the background, i-tunes – your internet. But you don’t see them any more. It is very easy to get lost in the words with this program.

So even though this same effect would be very easy to achieve by simply using notepad and closing down everything else – the process of downloading a new program and using a brand new interface is surprisingly helpful.

The flow of writing isn’t interrupted by green and red underlines – you just write, and worry about those later.

As an added bonus for the monetary challenged writers out there – it’s completely free!
