WIP Challenge Check-in -- Day 16 (Thursday)

[linaewen]

Time for another check-in!  Is today going well so far with writerly pursuits?  If so -- or if not -- give us the details and we'll be pleased -- or sympathetic -- along with you.

 

Does your plan for the day involve any of the following?

 

--Writing

--Editing

--Send to beta

--Posting

--Procrastinating

--Planning/Researching

--Taking a break

--Something else I will describe in comments

 

Any word counts to report as yet?

 

For discussion -- We've had some great comments on whether people use pen/paper for writing or compose on their computer.  For computer work, what's your favorite word processor/online composing tool?  Why do you like it?  (I know some people have been sharing their writing tools already -- to my benefit, I might add! -- but I thought it might be nice to find out what else is out there for writing tools that we like to use.)

I haven't heard of Jarte before but that sounds awesome! /goes to check it out

Awesome. :D It's really small too, and you can run it from a thumb drive. It can save and open Word format too, which is another reason it is awesome. Much less hassle than Open Office and it's ilk. I still use Word for some things, but I do most of my writing in Jarte now.

"It can save and open Word format too, which is another reason it is awesome."

That is awesome. I don't care much for Open Office, or Word for that matter.

Then I think you will find Jarte quite awesome. <3 There is a paid version too, but it's not very expensive, especially compared to Scrivener and LSB. But the free version is still excellent anyway so it does me fine. I alwyas found Open Office clunky and annoying to use. The only thing I use Word for now are mostly assignments for uni. Everything else can be done in Jarte.
