Hey y’all,
What do you find works best for writing your story on? I’ve been using Microsoft Word on my desktop, but I’m getting frustrated because it takes forever to scroll to where I left off or to find something in an earlier section…plus it’s taking up so much storage on my computer that I’m having trouble with that as well. Is there some sort of online location (preferably free, LOL) y’all use that allows for easier navigation and stores the manuscript in the cloud? With my short stories, I’ve never had the need to consider a different resource, but with my novel…totally not motivating to have to scroll through a hundred pages to find a little detail or to get to where I need to keep writing – especially as my computer has trouble loading that big of a document.
Thanks so much!
I’m cheap in that the only software I use is Word. Each chapter is a separate file, and the book is a folder containing all the chapter files. As for finding where I left off, my trick is that I type “XXX” at that place. The next time I open the file, I use Find to go to that point. Simple, but it does what I want it to.
