Do you use something like #git to you house your writing locally? Is it all typed up with a typewriter, or is it all in loose leafs of paper?

    Use git (on notabug) for saving plans, emacs using fountain mode for scripting, Notion for wiki lore documentation. And Org mode on emacs for the simpler planning tasks (to do lists).

    Also pen on paper feels awesome when I’m in creative mood.

    Most of my writing lives in Ulysses (a Mac application) and gets synced through iCloud. Before I was a Mac person, I tried Scrivener and one or two online novel writing applications. I always keep backups somewhere in the cloud and on at least one computer.

    One requirement for me is to have my writing available everywhere I am, so I don’t want it to be tied to one particular device.

    Where does yours live, and why?

    I’ve always used the simplest notepad I can find (mostly the OS default), but also still rely a lot on pen & paper as it helps me brainstorm better

    Libre Office .rtf files, one file per chapter, one book/serial per folder (short stories have a shared folder).

    But I’m also publishing as a serial, so a copy of my chapters exists, in order, on Royal Road, and on Patreon. And when I finish revising my first volume, I will get an ePub copy from Royal Road and make sure that is backed up.
