Writing Shop Talk ask meme! 🏡- Would you live in the world you created? Why or why not?

answered here!

📝- What writing software do you use? Does it work for you?

i used to use google docs for everything and just backup with word documents, back when i had access to word (switched from my old school laptop to a new one that works), because i like that i can use it across devices and for a couple of years there i was writing mostly on my phone. it's still fine for fanfiction, but now that i'm a big boy with a functional computer i've been using scrivener and im gonna be honest i have NO idea if i'm using it right, because it keeps yelling at me whenever i open it about how it's saving to the folder i asked it to save to (the horror) and i don't know what it actually wants from me. AND i'm about to compile for the first time to print, and that might go REALLY poorly so the answer might change. but for now it's pleasant to write in, sort of easy to organize (the fact that you can turn your text file into a note if you don't remember to expand your chapter folder is SOOO annoying i do NOT know how to use scrivener), and i totally made my indent preset something ridiculous i want to change but can't be assed to after the last time <3 love and light

📱- Are you planning on publishing? How and where? Are you trying to monetize your writing?

i am! like, my original fiction. all of my fanfiction is already like readily available to read online.

anyway, i'm going to try tradpub first, because those childhood dreams are hard to shake and all, but i'm not opposed to self publishing if it isn't with amazon (no judgement 2 anyone who does but i'm Proud of my lack of amazon account and also hate them dearly). i'm not entirely *trying* to monetize my work, but i realize that that's just, like, a part of that process. like i'm not under any allusions that i'll wake up one day a financially successful author, esp. with the way i'm just not really on social media that would give me any kind of publisher-friendly exposure.

i've wanted to put fixed up for free, though; somewhere like on my tapas account . whenever that's done lol
