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?

That makes sense, I think I always was worried that there was a right or wrong way to use it, and didn't experiment with it as much as I should.

If you can make a tool work for you, that's what matters in my opinion. If not, well, not every tool is for everyone and that's cool too.

I probably wouldn't have spent much time on it if I couldn't just pick up sections and move them around the screen all willy-nilly. I thought it was neat, so the program held my attention where normally mind maps aren't my thing.
