Ulysses NaNoWriMo Special

Ulysses bills itself as the 'text editor for creative writers,' and has a host of unique features which help it to live up to that motto. The big ticket feature, which you may be aware of, is full screen text editing. With a simple key combination Ulysses hides the rest of OX and fills your entire screen with a blank document (or the document you were writing in). This allows you to concentrate on your writing and not stare at Mail.app hoping that the icon will update with some new email. If I were the makers of Ulysses I would dub this feature the 'Front Row of text editing.'

While all of this is well and good the real reason for this post is to let you know about a special that the Blue Technologies Group is running at this very minute. Victor mentioned that NaNoWriMo starts next month, and Blue Technologies wants to help those budding novelists by doubling the trail period from 30 day to 60 days, just enough to finish up that novel in 30 days.

Check out the free-as-in-beer Jer's Novel Writer: http://jerssoftwarehut.com/ Like its name suggests, Jer's Novel Writer is designed for writing novels. It features its own fullscreen mode and a nice notation feature. It's free for now, but the author will probably start charging for it once it hits 1.0...

NaNo is next month, yes. But next month starts next week. PANIC! I'll finish this year, I'm sure of it.

Better hope that your system doesn't crash in the next two months, since the save "feature" is disabled in the demo. Lame.

I like Ulysses, but it's way too expensive: Copywrite from Bartas Technologies has a similar feature set and is much less expensive. I personally prefer it's fullscreen editor mode as well. Just a happy customer.

I've tried Ulysses, but liked MacJournal better. http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=85 They share a lot of the same features like full-screen editing and a tree view of your work. I have no association with Mariner other than being a very happy customer.
