See me. See me babble. Babble me, babble
Date: 2010-06-30 03:51 am (UTC)I know when I'm going to school on a regular basis notebooks become a lot easier to work with. I can scribble down notes and parts of stories and then go hoe to type them up.
For a while I used to carry around a role of index cards and write on those. I was really fond of them and the only reason I still don't do it is because I can't find them anymore. I especially liked using them for writing drabbles/one sentence type things.
As for programs, I'm really fond of DarkCopy. I find the minimalist ting works well for me when I'm really trying to get words out. WriteOrDie is another one I am a bit partial to but that's a recent development.
Jumping back to notebooks, I usually have about three on me at any given time. One for ideas one for quotes and one for writing. I'm actually starting to carry around for since there's one particular idea that's been hounding me a lot lately and I wanted to try and keep everything separate for that. I would probably carry more but I know I would receive many a facepalm, so I try and resist.
....Though now I want to try and find a roll of index cards. I sort of really miss doing those, now that I think on them.
