I've recently discovered some new writing tools I'm enjoying.
The first is a website called 750 words. If you've ever read The Artist's Way
The other tool I discovered is Ommwriter. You download Ommwriter from the web to your computer. Basically it's a super stripped down word processing program with a calming background and soothing music playing. Scrivener is still the main program I use for writing, but when I'm doing word sprints, Ommwriter has proven to be a good tool for changing the scenery and minimizing distractions.
Best of all, both of these tools are free (or have a free version) and are easy to sign up for.
If getting words written faster is your goal, here are a few more fun writing sites to try out:
Write or Die
Written Kitten
What writing tools do you use?
Thanks for the suggestions, Julie! I'm pretty old school...just use the computer at this point. :P Maybe I'll have to check these out.
ReplyDeleteWhatever works, right? :)
DeleteI have never heard of either of these! Thanks for sharing, Julie!
ReplyDeleteI probably discovered all these tools while I'm procrastinating. LOL
DeleteUmmm, WOW!!! I need to check these out. My only writing tools right now is Property Brothers on HGTV playing the background. DANG they build some amazing stuff!
ReplyDeleteI've been known to use HGTV in the background too. ;)
DeleteSometimes I still write sections of my WIP novel in long hand. It usually happens if I have a long wait at a doctor appt or a two hour car ride or something of the sort. I always take along my notebook.
ReplyDeleteI always find that when I go to put it on the computer, that I have written more than I thought.
Thanks for sharing this tool.
Sometimes confined at the computer squeezes my creative juices. Writing while out somewhere gives me a fresh perspective, not chained to the computer.
I've been using long hand sometimes too, but it's usually because my four-year-old is watching cartoons on my computer.
Deletethanks for the suggestions
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteI haven't heard of these Julie. Thanks for sharing. I keep hearing awesome things about Scrivener though. It's on my list of things to research. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been really happy with Scrivener. It's a great program.
DeleteOoh, cool, thanks for the suggestions!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am going to Written Kitten in a minute--because I'm obsessed with cats and love that name. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about Scrivener. I'm thinking about trying it. :)
