Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has a preferred software for the purpose of creative writing.

Libre Office Writer is great of course, but just as software like LogSeq or Obsidian exist for the note taking process, I was wondering if there is anything that is specifically geared toward the creative writing process.

I know that there are federated blog platforms which focus on this in their presentation, but was curious about applications specifically.

FOSS is definitely preferable.

Thanks!

    I use a text editor called micro for most writing tasks. It’s simple enough that it doesn’t distract me, but flexible enough that I can use it for most things. Creative writing, code, notes all the same application.

    Before I heard of micro, I was just using nano. Same thing, different key bindings. Though until recently I didn’t know it could be setup to show line numbers. Which is why I liked micro when I found it.
