Write! takes the distractions out of writing and helps you focus on what needs to get done.
I wrote this entire post in Write! and then exported it into a file I could then put into the blog. While getting my thoughts down, I noticed that Write! looks simple on the outside, but it made a difference in my concentration levels while getting my work done.
There’s a nice range of features to this program, and to be honest, it felt a bit overwhelming. Kind of like ordering at Baskin Robbins for the first time. You know what you want and what works for you, but seeing it all on a single menu can throw any newbie off.
After playing for a bit, I found the features I feel work the best for what I do:
That last two features, in particular, are useful if you’re a student. I have some professors who want papers to be either a minimum or maximum word count. You can tell the program what your limit is and when you hit your number, the word count turns red to let you know by how much you have gone over. When you’re done, you can export it into the file type your professor requests.
No program is perfect, and while Write! is designed to keep you from getting distracted, I found that the auto complete feature actually distracted me. The way it works is as you type the program tries to guess what word it is you mean and you can hit Enter to have it insert it for you. For some, I’m sure this is a valuable feature, especially as the program learns your habits. Personally, I found this feature counterproductive. It’s easy enough to turn off in the settings, though.
The features I discuss are only a sample of what the program can actually do. The more you dive in and play, the more you will see the possibilities.
Write! is available for Mac and PC and costs $24.95. Write! is free for students while they’re in school. Just submit the necessary proof of student life and you get one year free.
