Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has a preferred software for the purpose of creative writing.

Libre Office Writer is great of course, but just as software like LogSeq or Obsidian exist for the note taking process, I was wondering if there is anything that is specifically geared toward the creative writing process.

I know that there are federated blog platforms which focus on this in their presentation, but was curious about applications specifically.

FOSS is definitely preferable.

Thanks!

    I’ve been enjoying novelWriter for a few months now.

    It’s FOSS, works on every OS, and is created by a writer who was frustrated with the other options available. She and another writer co-designed it initially, and there’s a respectably sized community built up around it at this point. It’s got the kinds of features that writers actually need, and avoids bloat. So they say, and in my experience that’s certainly been the case.

      Now this is what I was thinking of. Incredible and glad to see that it exists. Thank you!
