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. 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.
