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’ve found that using a pencil and paper gives me more time to elaborate what I’m writing, while I’m writing.

    A sentence comes out differently if I’m using a keyboard as opposed to paper. It’s as if the time it takes to write a sentence determines how much time I allow my mind to dwell on what I want the sentence to convey.
