Writing can take many forms now a days. Some prefer pen and paper and others prefer word processors. I am curious what [email protected] 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, [email protected], what is your software of choice? If you prefer pen and paper, what does your process look like?

I get the same way so no worries there! I think I found one but gonna refine my searches to see if there are any others out there.

Edit: Looks like the only one I can find is !fountainpens[email protected]

That's the one. I'll see you over there. Good luck; I hope you find some good advice.

Just ordered the Platinum Preppy with two extra ink cartridges for $16 shipped. I'm excited to try it out when it arrived!
