30 Technology Tips for Writers — Find the right writing software

by Scot Herrick on September 9, 2007

Dark RoomThis month, I’m providing a writer’s technology tip-a-day (along with other posts) to help you in your writing goals.

Today’s tip: Find the right writing software.

In the beginning, there was Word Perfect. Then came the monster called Word. And that was the end of that.

But several years later, there are far more options out on the market for writing software. While Word can remain dominate, there are now choices. Want a minimally distracting word processor? Try Darkroom. How about a few-featured, but on the mark word processor? Try RoughDraft. Want something that builds in tools that writers also use as part of their craft? Try Writers Blocks.

Today’s market offers a good choice of writing tools that can fit the style of the writer and the technology.

So get comfortable with your writing software — and if you’re not comfortable, give another software program a try.
