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?

    TLDR; Google Docs, and lately Obsidian

    I’m not going to lie, I just use whatever’s on hand. I’ve written stuff on google docs for a while now, at the moment I’m using a good app called Obsidian (not made for writing but hey, what works works). I’ve been meaning to try Scrivener but 90 dollars (AUD) is a bit much, especially as I don’t think I’m a good enough writer to justify it.

    Pen and paper MURDERS my hand, which is a bit annoying and I’m trying to get over it but like it’s just agony man.
