Tools of the trade…

One topic of discussion that occurs frequently with new writers (such as myself), is ‘What do you use when you write?’

For me, I use an old Word program. I find it is easy to use and modify, and simple to edit.

I have heard from many that Scrivner is the way to go, but I am still holding strong to my old ways.

There has been discussion about Grammerly (which I will try) and a few other editing and proofreading programs I am not familiar with.

For my covers, I use Gimp. Yes, it is a free program, but it does everythng I need at this point in time.

I have my thesaurus (yes paperback, old habits die hard) as well as the internet for issues that arise.

I am slowly moving into the electronic age (after all, I am publishing e-books instead of paperbacks right now :) ), and I am trying to ‘get with the times’ with the tools of the trade.

I appreciate the diversity of tools that writers choose, and the support I receive for all of my questions along the way.
