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?
Like most others, I use Scrivener for long-form content like novels.
For short-form content and general notes, I was one of those people that bounced around to a million different apps (I tried Apple Notes, Bear, Upnote, Evernote, OneNote, Craft, Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Roam, etc.) but I just ended up landing on Apple Notes. Every app had its drawbacks, but the biggest drawback of all was the constant switching. So many hours wasted testing word processing software.
I feel that, it’s almost a job in of itself to find one that works and when you hear of a new one it makes you think “maybe this one is the one” even though it usually isn’t
