writethisfanficSorry I missed yesterday's post, I didn't get home from work until really late. How is the writing going today?
Discussion: resources. Do you have favourite programs for writing? Websites? Assistive technology?
I mainly use LibreOffice for writing because it's compatible with TextHelp and is also very easy to customise the background colour and fonts as well as the page zoom. I also use TheSage dictionary that sits idling in the taskbar until it's needed. As well as TextHelp I also have and use EduApps which I got the second time I went to university and that one is free.
I don't use a lot of writing websites as I often have other things to attend to when I'm online but I know that some of you do and find them useful. The one I use quite a lot has a handy word count tracker which is good for high word count, long term projects. It can be customised by changing the colour bar and of course inputting your own word counts.
