this is my hot take for new writers starting a novel in ms word or g docs I also started writing in google docs and by about 60K wordcount it was making me loopy I didn't love the look of any other writing app. I just wanted an app that worked for my brain. It was the middle of Covid. I was out of bananas and sour dough starter, so I did the mad thing and decided to design my own writing app for neurodivergent writers who need collaboration tools AND plotting features "Software designed for cubicles is not made for complex storytelling," I raged at anyone who would listen (my cat, because again: covid) Anyway, in case you're wondering what it looks like when a writer builds a novel writing app: Meet First Draft Pro

This is my chosen hill…and the view’s not bad, actually 🙃
