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?

Hmm, I'll take a deeper look a bit later, but I am not sure how discoverable it makes your writing. That is one advantage of RR, it centralizes most of what I want. Once my revisions of Volume 1 are complete, I am going to throw the $50 at ads on RR (gets you a month of ads) and see if I get enough new followers who join my Patreon to justify doing it again. So far I have not spent any money on discoverability.

That makes sense, I'm not sure if it's more for blog writing or building a following. I am sure it has less discoverability than RR. And I love not spending on growth, so I feel you there
