Writing can take many forms now a days. Some prefer pen and paper and others prefer word processors. I am curious what [email protected] 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, [email protected], what is your software of choice? If you prefer pen and paper, what does your process look like?

    Thanks for the link! I’m definitely going to check it out.

    Have you ever heard of writefreely.org? I haven’t looked too deeply into it yet but I believe it’s a federated writing website. Could be another place to post to get grow your audience. But I do know how hard it is to add another site when you’re in a groove, so just thought I’d bring it up

      Hmm, I’ll take a deeper look a bit later, but I am not sure how discoverable it makes your writing. That is one advantage of RR, it centralizes most of what I want. Once my revisions of Volume 1 are complete, I am going to throw the $50 at ads on RR (gets you a month of ads) and see if I get enough new followers who join my Patreon to justify doing it again. So far I have not spent any money on discoverability.

        That makes sense, I’m not sure if it’s more for blog writing or building a following. I am sure it has less discoverability than RR. And I love not spending on growth, so I feel you there
