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?

      No worries. And sorry for the wall of text in my previous comment. I get excited sometimes.

        I get the same way so no worries there! I think I found one but gonna refine my searches to see if there are any others out there.

        Edit: Looks like the only one I can find is !fountainpens@sopuli.xyz

            Just ordered the Platinum Preppy with two extra ink cartridges for $16 shipped. I’m excited to try it out when it arrived!
