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 use Libre Office, and when I paste to Royal Road, I let Grammarly offer edit suggestions in the browser. I often don’t take them, but it also catches some things that are really helpful.
I like having local copies that are easy to rename the file of or backup. I do one chapter per file. If I need to write remotely, I can, and I use Discord to send files back and forth like notes for the story, plus my world has a campaign website that I use as well. this format works well in part because I’m writing a serial and posting it one chapter at a time (~2k words, sitting at over 100 chapters right now)
