TNT 1: Notebooks galore

[azuire]

Good evening everyone (at least, it's evening where I am). Hope you're all well. Welcome to the first Tips and Tricks column! All future entries will be searchable by the "tips and tricks" tag. Members, if you have an idea for a TNT discussion, feel free to PM it to us!

Allons-y!

I like to scribble. My current notebook has several pages that go on in messy longhand. When I was younger, I had my own typewriter and used that to hammer out my work. But to share writing on the internet, I have to type it on my computer, and for this I use OpenOffice: it has very convenient folders. I sometimes use WordPad if I'm in a hurry. I don't like Microsoft Word because it continually eats my work (and corrects my spelling). Recently a friend of mine bought Liquid Story Binder, and I saw another explaining how to use yWriter. Both seem very satisfied with their respective writing programs. So, what do you think about these programs? Which one(s) do you use? And where do you prefer to write, in notebooks, or on keyboards?

Share away :-)

I used to do post it notes when I stayed in one place a little bit more. Now I'll do random pages inside a notebook, forget what I wrote and come back later. It's the same effect with slightly less chance of me losing things.

Yesss, I would imagine it would be. I'm looking forward to NaNo this year and getting to tr it out.

I have paperclips, and if I'm very worried about an index card, I staple it to my notebook. unfortunately I have abused this useful trick horribly.

Such things exist? I had no idea!!

I'll look into it for giggles. My cousin is going to build me a computer soon so I can finally have a desktop that works. Storing all my music and writing will be a dream!!

i think i may be alone in confessing that i prefer to write in LJ. i start a post, and if it turns out good i'll make it viewable to everyone; if not i'll keep it private until i find it complete.

and of course, notebooks are good too! i've kept about 20 so far? ye-ah (:

you are not alone! I do the same when I'm tired/in a hurry <3
