Every writer has different tastes when it comes to the tools they use to write. Book authors, article writers, writers of non fiction, poets all want different things from their computer. I would like to share with you the software I use, and why.
First of all, I'm cheap. I like freeware. I like open source software. Why pay for something if you can get it for free.
Second, I like my tools simple. If I'm going to whittle a piece of wood, I prefer a simple single-bladed knife, not a multi-tool Swiss Army knife that is fussy to open and awkward...
