This month’s co-hosts are so kind to take time out of their busy schedules. Thank you, JS Pailly, Rebecca Douglass, Pat Garcia, Louise-Fundy Blue, and Natalie Aguirre
July 3 question – What are your favorite writing processing (e.g. Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Dabble), writing apps, software, and tools? Why do you recommend them? And which one is your all time favorite that you cannot live without and use daily or at least whenever you write?
I feel old (and old-school) reading this question, because I only know Microsoft Word. I’ve used Word for all of my writing, personal and professional, since starting psychology graduate school in 1994. I think Word is quite user-friendly.
While I’ve heard of Scrivener, I don’t know much about the other writing tools, so I look forward to learning more from fellow insecure peoples.
How’s your writing coming along? I haven’t made much progress on chapter three of my new novel, but I did send the first two chapters to my critique partner.
Meanwhile, my homeowner’s association has tantalized me with this gorgeous pool…

But they haven’t opened it yet!
I moved to a new-construction community in South Carolina last fall. Now that steamy summer weather has arrived, I sure would like to cool off in these serene waters. I hope my HOA gets their butts in gear and opens the amenities soon.
The middle section of the pool appears 25 yards long, and I plan to turn it into my personal lap pool, hehe. And a relaxing adult beverage at night will be nice.

I’m old like you and just use Word. I hope your pool opens soon.

If you want to try Scrivener out try their trial around NaNoWriMo. You’ll be given more time to figure it out.
I want a pool just like that one. hehehe

Hi,
I don’t know what happened. I was trying to write a comment on your blog and your blog just started acting crazy. I honestly don’t know why and it threw me out. 😂 Oh, well,… I am sure you’re going to enjoy that pool. It looks lovely.
Have a happy Fourth of July.
Shalom shalom

Wow, that pool looks amazing! You know, every writer needs to take breaks once in a while, and a nice swim sounds like a great way to relax.

Thanks for co-hosting, J.S.! For some reason, I can’t comment on your blog, but I’ll try again tomorrow. That’s cool you write with pen and paper, and I liked your homage to the Pilot Precise Rolling Ball Pen!

Sorry about that. A few comments got caught in the spam filter for some reason. I’m going to have to figure out why that’s happening and change whatever setting needs to be changed.
