Hey! It’s the Monthly Blog Hop for the Insecure Writers Support Group founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh.
The first Wednesday of every month, we announce an optional question that members can answer in their IWSG post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience, or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say
Let’s rock the neurotic writing world!
Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG.
The awesome co-hosts for the July 3 posting of the IWSG are 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?
Remember, the question is optional
Word has always been my “go to” software...
I’ve stuck with it through all its versions:
Good, bad, bugs and all....
And let me tell you...
One version had lots of bugs.
Last year...
When I went to the Writer’s Digest conference in NYC...
I took a mini class in Word and—WOW!
There were so many features I didn't even know existed.
Obviously, teaching myself isn’t the best way for me to learn...
Because I’m impatient, get frustrated easily, and give up often.
One time I tried Scrivener and thought it had great options...
But I kept going back to Word because it was familiar...
But more, Word is the standard when submitting...
And I don’t want to write in one software program...
And then have to copy and paste into another format...
I have enough going on in my head when I write...
I don’t want to clutter it figuring out how to do that.
(Yes...I'm a wuss)
Lastly...
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY to all!
And may all your BBQ dream cuisines come true!
