Yeah I have never found the fancy writing apps to be any better than Word, usually they have a bunch of features I don’t end up using because they’re a pain in the ass to learn. The best writing tool I have is an old laptop that won’t connect to the internet.

I've been messing around with Scrivener but it's kinda clunky. I'll play around with it a little more, but it's frustrating.

Arc Studio Pro seems pretty cool for scripts. It's simple to use and can be used across different computers. I like it.

I like playing around with index cards or sticky notes in real life. I use Miro for work and its great for doing that sort of stuff digitally. Its an infinite white board that pretty user friendly.

what is your font of choice?

do you default to arial or times new roman, or are you a psycho and use wingdings?

i like to go with courier.
