I admire writers who create stories with pen and paper. Since I worked for a newspaper, where all our stories were typed and sent to the proofreader, I bang out my work on a keyboard.
So, I'm a tech writer. Give me yWriter5 to outline my next project or Sonar3 to track my submissions. I keep up with my writing group using Yahoo Groups. I like Free Mind for brainstorming my plots or developing my characters.
I use a spreadsheet called Book Tracker, which I found at Writing A Novel. The spreadsheet helps me keep my project(s) and writing goals on track.
Right now, I'm using Windows Live Writer to post, edit, and publish this blog. It's my first time using this program. On my screen, to the right, I can insert maps, videos, pictures, tables, and tags.
There's nothing wrong with pen and paper. Nothing wrong with computing your way to a best seller, either. What kind of writer are you?
The most important thing you can do for your writing is write. Everyday.
Either longhand or tap that keyboard. Just write. Any questions?
