When creativity strikes me, for bursts of about 20 mins, then I get bored.

Also openoffice, currently trying out using rockwell as my default font cuz I like it. My computer is just some regular ass dell computer running ubuntu.

>StoryBook or Writer's Cafe?

What the fuck is this? They make dedicated programs for writing novels now or some shit? All you need to write is a goddamn word processor. Seriously if my .txt editor was a little more usable I'd just type in that since openoffice has way too many features and graphics and all that crap.

When I do write I do it for a few hours but that's rare, I'm basically just a poser right now. Soon though I hope to be writing original works more.

I'm one of those disorganized type writers. Usually anything I'm working on will be scattered across document files, computers, google docs, scraps of paper etc. Many of which to be written down and soon forgotten. So a program that lets you put these little tidbits into a story and actively track where you put them does have some use.

When writing scripts I use CeltX. Free, easy to use and makes formatting quick, easy and difficult to fuck up.

Hm, fair enough. I retract my previous disparagement.

Fuck all you guys, I'm old school.

Really? Although its neat and portable it does make the hand hurt like a bitch. And its not awesome like a typewriter.

I'm not anywhere near prolific enough to worry about hand cramps, and the fact that you can't erase or edit typewriters without white-out would piss me off. I can't deal with misspelled words, I just can't.

When it comes to writing by hand. Try cutting and pasting and realizing you've written on both sides.

I write my scripts by hand, since the computer is basically a gravity well for creativity. After I'm satisfied with whatever I've written, I use Final Draft to digitize and edit it.

I thought Celtx was alright in high school when I hadn't heard about Final Draft. Now it's just annoying to use. Different strokes, I guess.
