I had written about 900 words of a new short story...and then it just beachballed, irrecoverably. :( I lost it all. Because I had been so focused on the writing process itself, I never even stopped to save. It never even occurred to me that it'd just stop working like that, mid-stream. I have to say that really soured me to it.<br><br>I'll give it another chance, and I understand it's beta, but BE CAREFUL! Okay, so I just tried using OmmWriter for real.

For the past year or so, I've been using WriteRoom when I have to write/create something. More recently I've used Mariner Write a few times. I'll give this baby a try next time I need to write. Anything to avoid MS Word! Interesting! For the past year or so, I've been using WriteRoom when I have to write/create something. More recently I've used Mariner Write a few times.
