    I use an old version of Scrivener running in fullscreen black background with yellow text and nothing else visible mode.

    Wordpress mostly. VIM for some things. A touch of Word when producing books.

    For books/long-form writing: Ulysses

    For blog posts: Airstory if a lot of research or Story Chief

    For personal essays: these days, right into Medium

    For poetry, which I'm starting to do again: napkins

    Yup, I'm late to the party again. I use a combo of Notepad, Google Docs and Airstory.

    Whichever editing tool is appropriate for the environment and need for the circumstance.

    For work (both writing and editing), I use Google Docs. Collaboration is key, and on that count Docs beats everything else hollow. Its formatting options are intuitive too.

    For personal writing, primarily fiction, I use Scrivener and wouldn't part with it for the world.

    For bite-size recreational blog posts, I often write directly in Blogger. Any long-format posts I'll either jot down in TextEdit (Notepad) first, or, if it's really involved and goes through revisions, write it in Scrivener. I love Scrivener's screen-shot and compare features for keeping track of different versions.

    In addition to the conventional types of writing, I send a lot of handmade cards and long-form letters. Those I draft with mechanical pencil in a notebook before writing a fair copy. Writing personal notes can be a lot more challenging, I find, than writing copy, and writing by hand rather than typing makes me less able to delete something that I feel isn't working. I leave it there and move on to another line, and I can grow my thoughts more organically until I figure out what works and what I really want to say. The eraser's just for 'typos'.

    Scrivener. My wifi was being screwy for a while, so I needed offline and online access. The sync between my Mac and iPad is really nice.

    I, too write in Scrivener and I love it! Sometimes I handwrite my blog posts and newsletters but when I don't, I use Scrivener.

    I used to write in Apple's Pages or Wordpress - but I've had instances where I lost it all.

    Thanks to your Kopywriting Kourse - I only write in Google Docs. Thanks Neville!

    This has all been extremely enlightening. I currently have a 20+ year case of writer's block...so I'm not writing at all, but I have found a few tools to check out just in case (thanks, Neville!). Also for all of you who are doing the WordPress + export thing, you may want to check out wordable.io. I'm not affiliated...it just seems like it speeds up the process...

    Notepad++ or gedit(linux) then paste into mailchimp, website, reddit etc...
