My Favorite Writing ToolsToday I wanted to
give you guys some writing tools I use. I could not write without them. Some you have heard of, some you may not have. BTW - I get no kickbacks or anything from these. It is just what I use as a writer.
1) MAC set up - - MAC AIR - I have had a couple Macs over the years - Old MacBooks, the new Macbook. I must say my MAC air is awesome. It's so light. You'd be surprised how much of a different 2 obs is when you take your laptop everywhere. It also has back lit keys. Now I never thought I'd have backlit keys but i must say it comes in very handy on airplanes (especially at night) and if I write in bed when hubby is sleeping. Now as a side note, I used to be a PC user. Anti MAC but I have converted. It takes a couple weeks to get used to it but you can get Microsoft word so it did not hinder my writing at all.
- Wireless keyboard and docking station. Since I wrote so much, the lap top was forcing me to look down alot. This is not good for someone who has bouts of vertigo. So my hubby got me a docking station. When I am at my desk, i dock my laptop so the screen is at eye level and use the wireless keyboard. That way I don't have to look down as much.
- Mighty Mouse - If you have a MAC (especially the AIR b/c it only has one

Great ideas! I'm going to check out TweetDeck. I spend way to much time checking social media stuff :)
Oh yeah, headphones and Tweetdeck for the win!
And I keep considering ordering Scrivenger, but don't know what's holding me back :-(
I don't have a Mac - but will definitely be considering it for my next purchase - so many writers love it!
I do love TweetDeck and can't imagine being on Twitter without it :)
I do love myself some Tweetdeck. I also like the new internet browsers - chrome being my fave - because it doesn't force me to have a million windows open to have the websites I reference to most often available to me. Headphones. Pandora or iPod. Oh, and a door that shuts me into my office without the shrieking 5yo & 2yo is always nice too.
My blog Sister LOVES Scrivener and as I have a Mac, I'm seriously considering it. I just discovered Tweetdeck myself and love it--and just a month ago, I was terrified of all things Twitter. Who knew?
Interesting ideas. I use a free mind-mapping software called FreeMind for plotting. It helps me to organize my thoughts in a neater way since my notebooks often get very messy.
Great post!
Thanks for the tips. If I ever get on twitter, I'll check out Tweetdeck.
My goal is to get active on Twitter and Facebook over the coming weeks, so I'll definitely have to check into that Tweetdeck. Thanks for the ideas.
Pandora and headphones. They block out the fighting of my kids. :)
I love Tweetdeck too!
Scrivener rocks! That's really the only thing I use to write. I export to Word so I can send the ms to betas, but Scrivener makes the writing part easier. :)
*hearts Macs*
Thanks for the info on Mary Kole...I'm headed over there right now!
Also, loved all your tools. Write or Die sounds like a real kick in the pants!
I love your ideas! They are all good. I also need a good pair of glasses and word check (I love that thing)!
I love my laptop. I can take it anywhere in the house or backyard.
I want to try Write OR Die tomorrow.
I also like Pandora,Elana!
