Started with a pirated version of Scrivener.
Eventually payed for it since I came to rely on it.
All the structuring options were useful to me since I'm working on a world building project, but the decision still fells silly to me. As does the idea of paying for any kind of word processor in this day and age.

My trick is to let other people write for me. Borges is my favorite me.

Are you trying to figure out if you'd be special for writing by hand OP? The content is what matters. The mode shouldn't really count for shit.

I like scrivener, somebody pointed me to it on here. Great for nonfiction work and PDF organization.

On pen and paper, I like my Schaeffer Targaris fountain pen on a Clairefontaine notebook. Right now I'm travelling so I'm just using a Parker, but still great for writing. Pic related

Absolutely. My point is that it should barely matter at all what you use, as long as you're actually writing. Getting hung up on decisions like these when the bare bones default word processor that came with you computer should (maybe with the exception of a ctrl f function or a word counter) have everything you'd ever need to get your ideas down. Hell sometimes all the extra features of some fancy payed for program can be distracting.
So yeah. Libreoffice should be fine. Especially since it saves in a standard format, unlike Scrivener.

MS Word.

It's a basic word processing program. I'd like to say on a personal note that it really doesn't matter what you use as long as you're willing to put forth the effort. That's what it comes down to in the end. That's why dipshits with 2000 dollar macbooks sitting at starbucks talk about being a writer but never finish anything.

Dumbasses.
