Writing in a Darkroom

    True story: I had written an epic post analyzing the most unfavorable items of the writing process, but unfortunately I forgot to save the file and it's now lost forever.  It was so well-written with so much supporting evidence that I probably could have gotten it published in a writer's journal if I wanted.  Now, all that remains is the screen capture that I was able to get on the right.
    Anyway, the gist of the post was this: writing is time consuming.  Additionally, I get distracted very easily when writing anything, ranging from short emails to long papers.  Solution: Darkroom.
    Darkroom is a text editor with two awesome features.  First, it has no graphics, buttons, menus, spell checkers, text formatters, or anything else that usually makes me lose focus when writing anything.  Secondly, it is full screen.  Darkroom loads fully maximized, not even leaving a menu bar open up top.  This allows me to write without having to give in to the distractions of email, instant messaging, Facebook, and whatever else I have open at that time.
    Darkroom is very customizable (although the default easy-on-the-eyes-green-on-black color scheme is sweet) and is awesome if you are like me and easily get distracted while writing anything.  If you are like me and easily lose focus when writing anything, visit the Darkroom website and try the freeware 136kb editor out.
