I am a passionate supporter of several things that make my life easier. These include:

• 750 Words for writing morning pages, except they don’t always get written in the morning.
• CrashPlan for off-site backups. You know that moment when your computer crashes and you realize that you’ve lost a lot of files and photos and music? I don’t have those anymore.
• Pandora often provides background music for writing time. Subscribe to Writing Radio to get your dose of surprisingly effective bland white noise.
• Site5, which I use for all of my web hosting. Their prices and service are so good I can’t remember my last web host (and they were really bad).
