Here's today's IWSG question: What are your favorite writing processing (e.g. Word, Scrivener, yWriter, Dabble), writing apps, software, and tools? Why do you recommend them? And which one is your all time favorite that you cannot live without and use daily or at least whenever you write?
I use Microsoft Word. That's the only one I use. Honestly, I had no idea there were so many! I use Microsoft Word because it's easy and it has spellcheck. What about you? What do you use?
In other news, I visited my Mom in Iowa last week. It was her 75th birthday. My latest book, Bubba and Squirt's Shield of Athena is dedicated to her because she inspired my love of reading. I gave her a copy on her birthday. Here she is with it.
She looks pretty good for 75, doesn't she?
I use Word when translating books too, I did not even know until recently that there are programmes and software for translators, but I am not savy enough to use them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Word could be used to translate books. Interesting!
DeleteIt does not translate books LOL I use it to write the translations in it LOL
DeleteThat is really awesome you visited your mom for her birthday. Bet she treasures the book.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does!
DeleteHappy Birthday to your mom! Happy Book!
ReplyDeleteShe had a great birthday!
DeleteI use Word for the same reasons as you. Your mom looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does! Both of my parents look great. Hopefully their good genes got passed on to me. :)
DeleteHi, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteLike you and others, I rely on Word to assist me with my writing projects.
I just realized that Shady Del Knight, aka "The Oldest Living Toddler," is old enough to be your father, seeing as how I am about the same age as your dear mother, a "49-er," turning 75 four months from now. I agree that she looks great. I notice that you both have what I would call "smiling eyes," a highly attractive feature. She must be very proud of her daughter, the prolific author and gifted musician.
Yessum, it is nice to reconnect with you at least once a month. Here's hoping that Bubba and your daughter are well and in good spirits. Have a safe and restful Fourth. I look forward to catching up with you again next time, dear friend Sherry!
Hi Tom! Both of my parents look terrific. My dad just turned 77. He looks maybe 58. Not old enough to be my dad. LOL! Thanks for the compliment. I agree that my mom has nice eyes. And yes, she's always smiling.
DeleteHappy birthday to your mom. Word seems to be the favorite amongst all the blogs I've read today. Might as well keep with what works.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've met a writer who doesn't use Word.
DeleteLike you, I only use Microsoft Word. Oh, Word plus living beta readers, of course... There's plenty that the program and my proofreading eyes still miss. Blessed are the betas.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is beautiful.
It's amazing how many times you can look at a manuscript and still miss things. Your brain seems to autocorrect.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Mom! She looks great.
ReplyDeleteWord is a great tool. I definitely use it when I'm prepping files to send to betas and critiquers.
I agree my mom looks great. She takes good care of herself!
DeleteMicrosoft Word is the only one I use and the only one I've heard of. Stick with what is familiar . . . and works.
ReplyDeleteYep. Easy to use and works great!
DeleteI use Microsoft Word too....
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom....
She had a great birthday, and I'm so glad I was able to see her.
DeleteYep. Word is all I mostly use too. Hope your mom had a happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteShe did!
DeleteHappy birthday to your mom. I pretty much only use Word, too.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be the app of choice among writers.
DeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteHope your mom had a great birthday. She looks fabulous! That's awesome that you gave a copy of the book that is dedicated to her. :)
ReplyDeleteShe was thrilled with the book!
DeleteAwesome that you visited your mom. She looks fabulous. Happy belated birthday to her.
ReplyDeleteHope the birthday went great. Enjoy the summer. Hope you are well.
