What do you do your Writing On?

[Crusoe]

I write on google docs too! Though I do post on other platforms than Tapas as well in case one of them goes down some day.

[NGChloe]

smart, I also use a lot of other platforms, not in case Tapas goes down, but just to extend the reach of my writing(hoping to build a fanbase and name recognition and whatnot)

[ArtGremlin]

I used to use Milinote until I had a traumatic experience where I almost deleted everything I wrote. Now I use Pages (apple app)

[KevinReijnders]

I use microsoft Word. An older version, not the 365 Office crap. That and just a notebook and a mechanical pencil.

[ThunderChicken]

Used to use LibreOffice, but got a free one year Office 365 subscription when I bought my laptop. I’ve kinda gotten used to using Word now, and the terabyte of cloud storage is good too.

[EncryptedWriting]

Was on docs for a long time. Switched to word and have no regrets about it. Main thing for me is I dont need internet to write and the text to speech application for word is really good. Sounds natural and overall, best text to speech I've found for free (free for me as I get word with my university).

[MiharuWrites]

I used to love Microsoft word but then I graduated and my student trial ended. Just in time too. The 365 had just kicked in and it was a pain to uninstall. I'm over on Libre office now.

[GothickangelStudios]

Back in the day on lined paper and a typewriter. Then on MS Notepad on an IBM, then transitioned with later technology to MS Word, then Apache Open Office. And now with my epilepsy, I use Google Docs voice to type.
Back then it was saved on floppies, cds, usb and now an external drive for just in case moments.

[KevinReijnders]

Yeah I bought the 2013 Office version at the time for like €100,-. Been using it ever since no matter how many times microsoft wants me to "upgrade" to their shitty subscritpion service

[kyupol]

On an app called colornote

[remiquise]

Google docs then i copy/paste
I save the chapters as word files on my hard drive after, and post to tapas and royal road.

I just find the folders useful, more so since I write each chapter on its own doc. If I didn't my phone would explode trying to open the damn things lmao Speaking of phone; the auto sinc that happens is a god sent. God forbid I'd have to remember to save... or remember to upload a file before I switch from laptop to phone.

[bumblebeelz]

I do a lot of my early work in Google Docs. Then I dump it onto my ToyHouse for final editing and touch ups. After that, I copy and paste it over to Tapas.

[SACCHARINE]

I scribble my stories into a notebook, then go back to reread and make edits with a different color pen. Then I type it up in a Word document and copy+paste wherever I want to post.

[vapidink]

Google docs because it helps me give the illusion of being organized.

[justincarbunkle]

Libreoffice, because I used Word growing up, but can't afford it.

Sometimes I write on the Notes app on my phone if I get a sudden idea I need to jot down. Used Google Docs a few times, when I needed to have the document shared/editable by multiple parties.

[AshanaArt]

For my comic I just write on my phones default notebook. It’s not the best but it’s convenient, since I can work on it at school during breaks and while I wait for my parents to pick me up.

[Leyelle]

Google docs. Often make notes on email though when I don't have access to my laptop lol

[dimsum_y]

I usually start in a notebook for notes, a notepad for a rough outline of what the chapter might be about, then, I move over to Google Doc for organizing, typing everything down, copy + paste, etc.

There are many people online who use Scrivener & other programs, but I find that spending too much time on figuring out a program, experimenting with other tools--might do me more harm than good lol. It would be too distracting.

[Sinth_a_sizer]

On the web comic I am currently writing I used the text editor for writing the outline as it is very unobtrusive, I make a point not to get caught up in fixing the many spelling or grammatical mistakes and be purely focused on getting ideas on the paper... or screen.

I am writing the comic as a screen play/script hybrid, mostly because that's what i am familiar with from a production standpoint. I looked around for a good script writing software for a bit but seemingly all of them were cloud based which is more trouble than what it's worth for me personally. eventually found an opensource app called Trelby. It was literally abandoned for five years after being written in 2003 then revived and "modernized" and currently being maintained by just a handful of people on there free time, and I absolutely love it. it's raw and minimalist and quirky while also being stable and powerful at the same time.

you can also customize it to your hearts content

[mohdadeebace]

I usually write on a stone tablet..... and then scan the text to upload on tapas using my quantum computer.....
