Barcelona, Spain-based interactive agency Herraiz Soto's latest creation, Ommwriter, is a distraction-almost-free text editor with beautiful design, though not nearly as functional and powerful as WriteRoom, which I use quite regularly. For example, no options for light text on dark background (yet). But Interesting concept and has great potential.
I do however hate the hand-over-your-email-or-you're-not-getting-it approach to the free download. So here's the direct link (50mb).

I probably should stay away from the keys tonight. The doctor gave me some vicodin to deal with the pain in my left side, just below the ribs but above the hip and the bruise there is the size of a paperback and things are spinning and slanted just a bit and I suppose that painting is easier in this state of mind and the words fall like butter off my eyelids onto the screen. So, I am going to stop there and just leave this painting as it is... with four hearts. ...Enjoy!
