Docs or Word?

[Park_NamByul]

Can anyone tell me which is better to write novels, Docs or Word?

Try both and decide for yourself based on your own experience.

 

[ShadowBlunder]

I use docs, but it’s personal preference.

 

[Noel_Elitia]

i use word, always.

 

[AnnonBee]

Both. But prefer doc

 

[Draconite]

Discord message cause i'm fucking lazy

 

[ModernGold7ne]

Words, docs, libreoffice, as long as it allows flexibility, i'm good.

Online word makes formatting a pain. I use Drive to save backups but that's all. Docs is consistent as it doesn't' have a separate program of it's own.

Discord message cause i'm fucking lazy

Same. It's a pain to transfer things over since for some unknown reason it also copies the message timestamps! For the most part it sorta works for me.

Google docs is more user friendly and free. I used to use word but I have come to dislike it a lot. Though try out both if you want to know your own preference.

 

[BlackKnightX]

[Maze_Runner]

I use docs personally

 

[Farok]

[Amok]

I use inkstone because I’m a lazy bastard

 

[JayDirex]

Docs all day.

 

[Jesse.S.Pierce]

I prefer Scrivener.

 

[AliceShiki]

I use Word because Docs is laggy... Otherwise, they're basically the same.

Ai-chan is with Alice in this. Google Docs is laggy. Even when nothing is running in the background, once you reach 4000 words, waiting for one letter to appear could take a few seconds. Many times, Ai-chan experience lagging from the very start. Ai-chan types at least 3 characters a second. So Ai-chan has to wait for the characters to appear on the screen. This is seriously a hindrance when you have a lot in your mind, but the system can't catch up with your flow of thoughts and typing speed.

As for software, Ai-chan use a combination of Warhammer 2 Total War and WPS Office.

 

[K5Rakitan]

I prefer Word, but different people have different preferences.

Docs is in the cloud, so it gets some points there.

I originally used Notepad, but then I realized I loved italics too much to keep my writing in plain .txt files.
