I'm curious, what writing software do you (yes I mean you specially) use?

[Indicterra]

It's you?

My main is docs, since I use my Android phone it's the most suitable one

Notepad++.

I once used that but later abandoned it after a update. It didn't sit well with me


How is it now

How is it now

Feels pretty much the same to me now as a decade ago, maybe you were using some special plugins or something but I haven't noticed any major changes.

 

[LunaSoltaer]

SH Editor with Grammarly Free for an edit pass

I have some story notes which I access via emacs

 

[Corty]

Grammarly Premium + Google Docs.
The latter is something that I think most of us use anyway because of convenience and ease of access. Plus it just works.

 

[Insomniologist]

I use Notepad++.
It is hell.
Don’t be like me.
(Don’t get me wrong, it’s great for HTML work and general notes, but actually writing something that you’re going to have to format later in it is the one of the worst experiences ever.)

 

[TASTYLEADPAINT]

MS WORD latest version + Grammarly premium plug in

 

[Obsoleteness]

That's why I reduced my upload schedule from 3 to 2 chapters a week. Yep, that's why

(Docs)

 

[Dieter]

Someone made a list a few months ago. Most Popular Writing Tools & Most Popular Map-making/Map-generation Tools.

 

[Notadate]

Docs. Most of my writing has been on my phone actually.

Chad program because it saves my stuff when I accidental unplug

 

[LiteraryWho]

Vim

Who needs fancy things like mouse support or context menus! We write like men!
(I've actually never written a complete document in vim, and I keep forgetting how to save and exit, lol)

 

[icey6]

webnovel inkstone. don’t really know how i got to using it honestly.

 

[Keene]

Used scrivener for a long time.
But ultimately I've always come back to google docs because it's so easily accessible from so many devices.

 

[PancakesWitch]

microsoft word...

 

[Notadate]

Oh yeah, gdoc, I use that if it wasn’t obvious

 

[MintiLime]

ScribbleHub on my phone…

 

[Cloww]

Hi , hope im not to late to ask. I was using grammarly for spell check and grammar check, mostly tenses and stuff and recently started using writing pro aid? The free one you register with a google account. My English is not the best, so i was wondering if the corrections given by writing proaid or before this gramarly is correct?

 

[Rokuro-Sama]

I've been writing in Google Docs for all three of my web novels. I've seen some stuff floating around about software that is more efficient for web novel writing, so I'm curious to hear what anyone and everyone's choice of writing software is!

Paid or Free, I need to know! Please!

I use the free version of Microsoft word.

 

[WatchaKhoko]

Google Docs, Notepad, Grammarly

Sensible enough, I've seen plottr but I wondered if it was worth the money (Not like I'm gonna buy it). How much would you say it has helped you in your writing process??

It's kind of hard to say how much it's helped me with writing as I've been super focused on college since I got it (early B-Day gift last year) but it has helped a lot with keeping my notes organized and planning. Before this, I was using good old Windows Notepad with everything jumbled together but having things in their own sections that I can tag with specific characters, notes or places has been a bit helpful for for keeping track of where I want the story to go.

Plottr does have a free 30-day trial you can try along with novel templates based on writing techniques or authors. And it's pretty easy to figure out how to use. And it has dark mode.

Spoiler: Plottr Character Example

And cause I'm a nerd and really like this program, here is an example of just how organized I have it right now for one of my stories. It could be more because you can add in individual sections for things you want to track for characters. But right now it's what book the character is in, the tags I feel appropriate (in this case race and bloodline), the "category" of character she is and whatever notes I want. You can also flip between different stories in the series if you have them added in and put in specific details about them in just that story.
