What do you use to write with?

I use google docs so I can access it no matter where I am. When I was younger, though, I used one of these:

It was really handy back when I didn't have 24/7 internet access. You can buy them for, like, $30 on ebay, and a few AA batteries will keep it running for 700 hours. It has a built in spell check and thesaurus. It lets you have eight files open simultaneously, but you can save others in the background, and it can hold roughly 200 pages of text. Then when you're ready, you just connect it to your computer and transfer it all over. The only reason I stopped using it was because formatting didn't carry over, so if I wanted to italicize any words (and I italicize a lot of words) I'd have to go back over the doc after transferring it to re-italicize everything. Also, like I said, now that I have internet access pretty much everywhere I go, it's easier to just use google docs and not have to transfer it onto my computer.

That looks like a slightly advanced version of the one my parents got me when I was learning to type in 1984 or '85. Had an optional, receipt-type printer or could be manually attached to most printers of the time.

Another Scrivener user here. It has a lot of great features, but they're never where you think they should be. I spend a lot of time Googling how to do certain functions. But it's great for writing, organizing your ideas, and formatting books into EPUBs.

I write in my pocket sketchbook (I use it as a notebook as well), and then I write it into a website called Reedsy with some tweaks here and there.
