Was curious to see what tools everyone uses for both writing and storage.

Personally I use Word for writing, Excel for planning and progress tracking, and a local MediaWiki server for note taking.

What about you?

  • I’ve been really enjoying Scrivener since version 3 dropped on windows. It really helps me keep things organized. That’s a big deal because I am kind of all over the place. It’s also really good for organizing GM notes for TTRPG campaigns!

    It does have a learning curve, and it has a lot of features that I don’t actually use, but even just the basic functionality is very nice.

    I also use Scapple, which is their whiteboard-like storyboarding tool. For what it is, it’s by far my favorite because it’s so lightweight and stripped down. I don’t think that one’s being developed anymore, but honestly it’s simple enough that it doesn’t need to be.
