Writing can take many forms now a days. Some prefer pen and paper and others prefer word processors. I am curious what !writing@beehaw.org uses for their own writing.

For me I have used Scrivener before but found it too powerful for my style of writing. I now find myself using Google docs since it can sync to so many places and I can write wherever I go. (If anyone has a FOSS Google docs alternative I am all ears)

So, !writing@beehaw.org, what is your software of choice? If you prefer pen and paper, what does your process look like?

    I’m pretty basic, I usually just use google docs. However when I was younger, I found an old typewriter in my attic and got it working. So for a couple of years I would write on a typewriter lol. I looked very pretentious, but I mostly just liked the sound and the novelty of it.

      lol its only pretentious if you take it to a coffee shop and write on it. I’ve always wanted to get a typewriter, my mom had one when we were young but it didn’t work very well. I do remember the smell of the ink and clicks of the keys though it was fantastic.
