Bought it! So shiny. I can't wait to use it to get my short story for English written. Not that I would ever slack off on homework and put off a bunch of writing until the last minute. Not me.

Just in time for Nanowrimo 09, when I get a spare ten dollars, hopefully within the next week, I'll be downloading this. Was it exhausting work?

I am IN LOVE with Write or Die! I've been using the online version quite a bit since I first found it, but bemoaned the lack of a download for Mac.

I'm so glad I followed you on Twitter (@lights_aurora), because as soon as I saw you mention the new download you were working on in Adobe AIR, I squealed like a fangirl. I don't do that often.

So shiny and pretty! And painful too. Great work! Like I said on the Feedback and on Twitter, you are the best developer I've 'met' online. You're always letting us know whats up, answering questions and being generally cool.

Keep up the awesome work!

^_^

Thanks a lot for the offline version. It works great for me.
There are lots of nice options.
The most interesting is that you can disable the backspace key, so the software is very similar to an actual typewriter.

Unfortunately you can easily cheat by selecting the words you want to delete and pressing "del".

Anyway, it's a really useful writing tool.
Nice job!
