OMMWrite is neither of those (and shouldnвЂ™t be.) The only exception to this rule was subscription services or cloud account services.

IвЂ™m guessing the developer got around that rule because it was an update vs a new app - so Apple slid it the update through without much scrutiny. Pretty disgusting to take such a great app and destroy it overnight with such a stupid decision.Дid you update the new version that solve your concerns? It was updates last sept, the 17th Regardless - IвЂ™m uninstalling and never using this again. I have made Ommwriter the place where I dump all my thoughts about any project IвЂ™m working on. ItвЂ™s the place I like to disappear to in order to get my work done. The rest of my computer truly disappears and I feel like itвЂ™s a unique place. I remember how using apps on the original iPhone felt so unique because the UI completely disappears and the phone BECOMES the app. Up next, I will talk about memos in Part 6.With Ommwriter, my Mac BECOMES my pleasant little home office, a place for my creativity to feel safe and come out and express itself. These free writes are one place where I find myself actually articulating for the first time and iterating on these connections. As I go through my day, do my readings, maybe work on various projects, my brain is making all sorts of connections I might not be aware of.

My later writings can now have snippets of free write pasted in to get them started вЂ“ no more blank page! I also find this process really helps jumpstart and solidify my thought process. First, it gets rid of one reason for writerвЂ™s block вЂ“ the blank page. I find this free write process to be very freeing (haha). Work done now, upfront, is work saved later when energy levels may be low, cognitive function may be impaired, and deadlines are getting anxiously near. That way, when I get to later steps in my writing (вЂњNow where did I put that one idea about a conference paperвЂ¦.вЂќ) I can throw some keywords into my Evernote and find what I need. all in one place that is easily parsed and searchable. My goal at the end of the day is to have all my research notes, memos, writing, etc. I do this quick switch for one primary reason вЂ“ searchability. When IвЂ™m done with my 1500 words, a quick copy and paste from OmmWriter to Evernote (filed under my notebook title вЂњFree WritesвЂќ) saves my writing. For the most part, however, I just write.

With a quick swipe of the mouse, I can check in on my word count if IвЂ™m feeling particularly anxious. I can plug in my headphones and hear ocean waves and the happy click-clack of keystrokes. The great thing about this program is it is simple and quiet. I do my free writes in OmmWriterВ and then transfer the text over to Evernote for safe keeping.

Some days I donвЂ™t quite make it to my 1500 goal because I am tired or things get too hectic for my full writing session, but I do the best I can. I carve out 35-45 minutes and sit down and write. This is something I strive to do every (work) day. Now I will break the first step down for you. Last week, in Part 4, I gave an overview of my various steps in my writing process.

This is the fifth part of my series about my workflow as a graduate student (you can find Part 1 here). This week I will be writing about free writing.
