    I really just like to write in MEDIUM's interface... It's so smooth and spacious. Since I cannot use it for everything, the next best editor would be WordPress's built in editor.

    I like the simplicity, and their avoidance of needless features that only confuse WORD! (Crazy fonts, line heights, and all the whack margin lines... I just want to write!)

    ***iStudio Publisher***, if I am writing and designing a brochure/flyer, etc., and want to see how the words look in a specific size page with specific design elements. Sometimes the right words come faster to me when I know the size/space constriction I'll be working in.

    ***Scrivener*** for collecting/experimenting with a bunch of ideas/information and longer writing.

    I use Hemingway Editor for blog posts, Google Docs for copywriting (web copy, Amazon listings, etc.), and Scrivener for that elusive book I haven't started.

    I usually write in Microsoft Word then copy and paste into InDesign or WordPress.

    Occasionally I write rough drafts longhand, then transcribe into Word. If I review my project notes at night or just before a nap, my subconscious works while I sleep and the words flow very quickly when I wake. The organic longhand process of capturing them seems to help.

    Also, I like using my LiveScribe pen and paper at my favorite coffee shop. They have wi-fi but sometimes getting out the computer is a bit of a distraction. The pen syncs via my phone and captures the notes to Evernote automatically.

    Textedit - the stark minimalism of it really helps me focus and examine the words. If I'm working on headlines or want to re-write a paragraph, it gets pasted here to be worked on.

    Google Docs - is where I do most of my work documents. Its just easy to share and for revision control.

    Word - honestly, just for my resume. Although, Google Docs probably lets you save as pdf right? Word is getting less and less use over time.

    Bahahaha....Scrivener is the top choice for people who haven’t written that book yet 😂

    Totally agree! When Word made those changes years ago with all the wacky boxes at the top of the screen, I think that was the mark of its downfall.

    I usually write in the wordpress editor, first in visual mode, then inntext mode to edit html directly.

    Like you said, it’s simple!

    I have started using Notes more and more.

    I like that it’s jist auto-synced between all my desktops, iPad, and phone.

    Also I now take iPad Pencil notes in it too.....Microsoft screwed up OneNote for iPad bad....and I’ve moved it all to Notes!

    I mostly write in Notepad++. Occasionally directly in Google Docs but typically I do my first drafts in the former for less distraction.

    Libre Office, the backs of envelopes, post it notes (whatever's handy when the idea shows up) or a black leather Cervo Journal from Gallery Leather - the last one is awesome as they're only 10 bucks (comparable to the $30 Gallery Leather stuff) but only available from Barnes and Noble (No Amazon for this one, gasp!) - I buy 3 at a time and the quality is insane. Also, Pilot G-2 05 (or 07) Black, or a Blackwing pencil

    For me, it depends on what I am writing:

    For copywriting: iA Writer or Ulysses

    For still unfinished novels: Scrivener

    For spellchecking: Word

    For English texts: Grammarly (as English is not my native language)

    Pen and paper - drafting, getting thoughts down, to-do lists that I don't have time (or want to) put in Freedcamp

    Word - drafting documents/video scripts for work

    Google Docs - all of my creative writing (that is not being penned) goes here!
