Unleash your thumbs and creativity with My Writing Nook
If you find yourself needing to write on the go, but lack a solution that doesn’t involve napkins and back of receipts, then you’re in luck. Now there’s a high-tech solution that allows you to write all you want on your iPhone or iPod Touch 
The app is a no-frills way to simply write. You can save your work for later, and even transfer it to your Google account and onto your computer. You can also email your writing to a friend or to yourself. My Writing Nook does come with some basic features like showing your word count, dictionary/thesaurus and autosave. The app can be used in landscape mode, giving your thumbs ample room for typing.
I downloaded My Writing Nook last night, so I haven’t had a chance to put it through its paces yet. Although it seems promising. As of this writing the app costs $1.99 and has received great ratings at 4 1/2 stars.
The only real downside to this app is the virtual keyboard one must use on the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s not ideal for long writing sessions and takes some getting used to. But that’s not the developer’s fault.
This simple word processor is perfect for writing the next chapter of your novel, writing a quick drabble while waiting at the doctor’s office, or working on your essay for English class hours before it’s due.
Some might say My Writing Nook needs more formatting features, more fonts, etc. I think it’s great the way it is because there’s little to distract you from your actual writing. This is a definite case of ’simple is better.’
