    I'd really love to see an episode where you go into depth about co-writing. The nitty-gritty, technical details. How to coordinate things, technical elements, overcome challenges, plotting together, voice issues, etc.

    I love watching these talks you have together. I feel like we're in a coffee shop just chatting, having a casual conversation about writing. It's really cozy. Thank you for making these episodes, they're getting me through revisions.

    I would also add pro writers aid. Best style, grammar, and spell checker

    I really like the idea of using a calendar in scrivener to help with the timeline. I might have to try that. Thanks for sharing that little tidbit :)

    I need to try Scrivener! I hear nothing but great things about it! Awesome video as always! I hope you both have a great week!!! 😁

    The Indie Author Resources Series (3 books) by Valerie Howard is another tool I'd recommend. The titles are "1,000 Character Reactions from Head to Toe" ... "1,000 Strong Verbs for Fiction Writers" ... and "1,000 Helpful Adjectives for Fiction Writers." Each book is a great aid for writers!

    I bought Scrivener a few months back based on your suggestion, Abbie. The coupon code didn't work. I wasn't able to get any discount. So maybe look into that?

    Great ideas. I tried Scrivener, but, I'm sorry, hated it. It doesn't have a good Voice so that I can listen to my writing that I use in Word. Also, it doesn't have good prompts that come up with just a single click. I bought it twice and hated it both times, even watching your vlog on it and many others.

    Idk if it would be against your format, but having a tiny screen in the video actually showing a clip of the software or a screenshot would be way nicer to tell if it would be something to check out. Compared to just saying "check this and that", but I still can not imagine what it is in reality.

    Notion might be a better tool than Evernote. I think it's a great place to put my Bible.

      Hello. I know none of them. Could you elaborate on their differences? Thank you :)

    But it's okay to use Microsoft word for story writing

    Let's write a story...
    - watches the intro montage -
    Katie is the typical naive wide-eyed hopeful hero. Abbie is the battle-hardened villain who uses a knife to scratch the hero's back. A friendship so strong, they're like sisters... wait... epic...

    I loved Liquid Story Binder, but it's abandoned software now, so I tried Scrivener, but after LSB I just can't like it: it is worse for organisation than LSB, has less features and gives less freedom. So now I'll try Campfire Write, which seems to be something like LSB - but all new and shiny :D

    I send a pdf to my gmail account after every revision of my book. And save on usb drives, don’t use the cloud.

    I love Word and only use it when writing books
    I HATE SCRIVENER. I do very much hate scrivener more than capital letters. I paid for it all at once. What a waste of money.
    I love the emotion thesaurus and all the books that the authors added. One Stop for Writers is by those authors I love.
    I love Remarkable 2 and free write traveler for drafting. I prefer to handwrite my drafts on remarkable but the traveler free write is comfortable to use lounging in my comfy recliner as well but I don't have to transcribe.
    I used to love Dragon to dictate but it horrible now. I'm going to try Otter or Rev as a substitute.

    Why do you have headphones? When you say, “You know what I mean?”, I think of Trevor Noah. He has a whole bit about ya know what I mean.
