Nothing quite like building out a glossary to remind you how many acronyms and jargon you use on a daily basis. (Anything you think we're missing?)

Running a marathon and professional writing are mostly individual efforts. You might have coaches or mentors, but only you can cross the start line or put pen to paper and race to the finish.

NEW: footnotes, for Fancy Mode! We've supported footnotes for a while, but only in Markdown mode — now, wherever you're writing, you can do so with as many asides as you wish. Go forth and digress all you want; litter your writing with enough marginalia to blot out the sun.

We've upgraded our inbound email handling. You can now send emails — complete with images! — to `[email protected]`, and we'll send them out for you, automatically re-uploading and optimizing the images so you can write on the go. How's that for convenience?
