/lit/ - Literature

I don't write physically in any form, but I form coherent, elaborate narratives and premises in my mind which I eventually hope to bring to paper one day. Sometimes I forget one, and then years later it pops up again randomly and I elaborate on it and it puzzles me to no end why I haven't yet published something so seemingly worthwhile. What I mean to say is, writing is a waste of time if you can't form it into words beforehand.

computer. Ms Word.

any other dumb faggot questions?

evernote, libreoffice, celtx

I write with pen and paper at first. It forces me to write slower and more deliberately. If I type the first draft, it tends to ramble and lose cohesion. The cliches also quadruple in number, which is bothersome.

When I am done physically writing for the day, I type up what I have written and edit along the way. The resulting words get added to the manuscript.

Google docs, black composition note books.

TLDR: you don't write

computer, it is just so much faster to type, and you don't have to put in any thought to the mechanics of handwriting
If im not at a computer then i will write down the lines on pen and whatever piece of paper, or if i have to as a note on my phone

All editing/revisions on the computer. Poetry is either pen + paper or computer. Prose is 90% of the time pen + paper.

Laptop with vi. I might move to emacs or acme.

My blood.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Absolute nonsense.

I have a fountain pen my grandmother gave me and a bottle of heart of darkness. I only ever use it when I wanna show off, though. Its filling mechanism doesn't work and I have to dip it to fill the reservoir every time. It feels smooth and nice on good paper, so it's kinda fun once in awhile.

I've written more than one poem with my period blood.

This. Anybody who uses pen/paper or God forbid a typewriter in 2016 should reevaluate what an embarrassing, middle-class fraudulent life they lead

We're sorry for what we've done to you, precious Katie

Typewriters are for hipsters and psueds.

Sounds like most of /lit/

Using a word processor suite like MS Word for massive amounts of text is incredibly stupid. MS Word is for typesetting small documents like your resume. Learn how to use a simple text editor, and leave the typesetting to your publisher.
