WriteMonkey

Write Monkey is a simple and fairly flexible way to create a quiet space in which to concentrate solely on your writing.When you first open Write Monkey, which doesn't require installation, the color scheme is a pretty garish black with green ink. Thankfully, you don't have to use this Matrix-like scheme and can choose the paper/ink color combination you like. In full screen mode, you have simply a plain background and your text in the center.However, don't let this minimalism fool you, as there's actually quite a lot to Write Monkey. Right-click and a plethora of options pop up. There's a spell checker, and a look up tool that will look up results on any word or phrase from a good selection of online resources like Wikipedia. You can also check your progress, which first requires setting up your parameters. Enter a time and word count target, and you will be able to easily track your productivity.
