TNT 1: Notebooks galore

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 :-)

When I carry my giant purse of doom *shakes*, I throw in my journal for kicks. I was so upset on Sunday because I brought said purse, but forgot the journal--at work, for seven hours, without a place to write on break *head desk*.

Otherwise I usually use the notes app on my phone (or voice recorder when I'm driving =X).

Voiiicemails! Why didn't I think of that?? You are awesome!

I could use the notes app but I am not speedy with it and it doesn't take much to fill a note :(

I AM AWESOME. I am very awesome. I am so awesome, I have to be careful not to explode.
