Do you load visual line mode automatically when you load org-mode?  if
not it will definitely be broken, as I have to manually set the major
and minor modes on the new buffers (if I don't do that, all indirect
buffers will have the same modes as the parent buffer, which I don't
want).  I bet there's a way to record all the minor modes in a buffer,
then reload them in the indirect buffer, but I don't know it.  Does
anyone else out there?

I'm only sort of aiming at fiction as I don't really write fiction, so
I think "status" is great.  I'm not so sure about "edition" -- when
would you use that, do you think?  You may have noticed in any case
that org-writers-room-properties is a defcustom, so it an be tweaked
by hand if you think your use case is uncommon.

I'm sure you will find lots more bugs -- the mode isn't very
well-constructed, and in particular it doesn't dismantle itself very
well -- really it should remember the existing window arrangement and
restore it when it quits...

Please feel free to hack away at it!
