Writing can take many forms now a days. Some prefer pen and paper and others prefer word processors. I am curious what [email protected] uses for their own writing.

For me I have used Scrivener before but found it too powerful for my style of writing. I now find myself using Google docs since it can sync to so many places and I can write wherever I go. (If anyone has a FOSS Google docs alternative I am all ears)

So, [email protected], what is your software of choice? If you prefer pen and paper, what does your process look like?

+1 for the usage of vscode and onenote.

The limitation of style in vscode helps prevent distractions (markdown is great for this), and the flexibility of onenote makes it easy to build a personal wiki and indexing system to support the main text.
