It's ironic that this sophisticated software works so hard to replicate the stark writing environment I had on a C64 and later in WordPerfect 5.0 - but on the other hand, those were the places where I've been most productive. :)

WriteRoom {2.0) has become an indispensable tool in my daily work flow. Using the Edit in WriteRoom plug-in and a simple email applescript, I’m good to go. The Edit in WriteRoom plug-in works with any cocoa based app that utilizes the standard NSTextView text components, like Mail and Safari for example. The simple email applescript works with Apple’s Mail, which is my current email client of choice.
