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?

    Have you tried hand writing on a device? Either a tablet or one of the eink ones?

    I do a bit of both and it’s nice to been nice to have both the tactile sensation of writing while also having an immediately backed up digital copy.

      I have a nice big drawing display tablet and I should be able to give it a shot, yeah. Thanks for the suggestion! It’s stupid but I would’ve honestly not thought of that, haha.
