You know what I write in most days? Windows.<\/p>\n

I like MarkdownPad<\/a> because it’s simple. It lets me type away and see any styling<\/em> in real-time.<\/strong> It shows the styles as I type.<\/p>\n

It can do so much more than I need it to, but I ignore the extras and use it as a place for words. It’s free to use and $15 to upgrade and get a host of added, useful features like auto-saving and session-management.<\/p>\n

It’s never crashed on me. knock wood.<\/em> It’s a solid little app that does what I need it to do. I save files to .txt or .md and put them in Google Drive. I appreciate the app’s simplicity. It also pairs nicely with another app I love to write in.<\/p>\n

Writemonkey<\/a> is big, black canvas where I can put my words. There’s something about the black page and green text that reminds me of the old days of computing. It has a ton of options and plugins. But I use it as you see it. A big black page with lovely green text.<\/p>\n

It feels comfortable to me. I am not saying this is the way all writing should be done.<\/em> I am saying this works for me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find what works best for you and do it. I have found a color scheme and font that please me. It’s not a requirement for me to write. I don’t have to be seated just so with the proper writing tool in the perfect environment.<\/p>\n

I just need time and head space to compose words. And these are the tools I’m using these days. On the Mac and iPhone, I have Byword<\/a> set to the dark mode but I don’t remember the last time I used either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
