My core ones are iA Writer and Scrivener. I think it is only fair that I also mention the other writing apps I use. So now I need to manage it, which I’m doing, like talking about my latest find in writing software. I had hoped that as I get older and more mature that this part of my personality would die off, but it didn’t happen. They prefer the stability and consistency of one, but my personality is such I tend to grow tired and bored of things very easily. And I know you don’t have to and I know that some people can’t do that.
I have a few writing apps I use now and then, and then I have two or three core ones that I just can’t stop using. You’d think I have enough writing apps, but I suppose for me it’s like the 2.0 version of collecting typewriters. Very easy and smooth and without any fuss. You just highlight the word or sentence you’re working on and an options menu pops up. What I also like is the way you format your text. You can set the workspace to focus mode which means everything else except the line you’re typing is faded (iA Writer is like that, too, but more on this later). There’s no interference with your words as you birth them. Overall an extremely minimalist work surface that is devoid of any clutter. You have a white workspace with Calmly Writer’s little logo on the left hand corner and when you click on it the menu pane opens. I very much like Safari-not Chrome, although I have nothing against Chrome-and I find Calmly Writer utterly delightful on Safari. I use an iMac and Safari is my browser of choice. Unfortunately for me, Calmly Writer is only available in the Chrome Web Store, but it is compatible with Mac, Windows, Linux and, of course, ChromeOS. The unpaid version also does not support markdown or dark mode. Of course I’d prefer to have Calmly Writer save my words automatically as I type, but then I need to purchase the paid version which allows for cloud backup to Google Drive, which is nice.

The free version does not allow me to save anything I write-because it’s free-but to bypass that shortcoming I just copy and paste to my Evernote blog folder. I’m using the free browser version at the moment, but I am considering the paid version. I repeatedly find my thoughts wandering off to exotic landscapes and ideas for future projects.Ī few days ago I discovered an app called Calmly Writer and to help me quiet my thoughts I thought I’d try it out so I started typing random words which resulted in this blog post. I’m supposed to finish the first draft of a story I’ve tentatively titled “The Last Devil,” but it’s not going so smoothly this week. I’ve been pondering ideas for two days now. What will my first blog post for 2015 be about?
