Trailblazer replied to the topic Encouraging Each Other in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
 I sometimes worry that I’m too attached to my writing and that it’s become an idol, or that I’m writing purely for myself and that I should be writing for God.
Ok so this is something I’ve been trying to figure out how to balance, too! On the one hand, I recognize that God has given me a gift to write, and I want to use and grow t…[Read more]

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic Microsoft Word or Google Docs?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I used to use word, but when i switched to public school, our chromebooks didn’t have Word, so I had to use Google Docs. I then became used to Google Docs and honestly prefer that to Word, because if you forget to push “save” on Word, all your work is gone and you can never get it back. Also, I like the heading feature on Google Docs,…[Read more]

Otherworldly Historian replied to the topic Microsoft Word or Google Docs?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Docs is my personal choice for writing software but that’s probably because thats what I’m used to. Until high-school I didn’t even have access to word since you have to pay for it and my county doesn’t.
I feel like word is probably a better software, from the small amount of time I have used it, but at the same time it is more co…[Read more]

Ive always used Google docs, sometimes they do get laggy but you just have to be a bit patient *Heres me over here pounding the keys and yelling at the computer while all my family is looking at me like I’m insane* XDÂ But doc works great! The one with my WIP on is currently 138 pages and it works just fine, Id say about 95% of the…[Read more]

I use Google for pretty much everything, so Docs is my go-to, especially since it’s easier to make files in my Drive. There was one time a couple years back I tried Word for like two minutes and then gave up. XD I don’t have much experience with it, so I can’t say whether I actually like it or not.
I use both the app and websi…[Read more]

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Microsoft Word or Google Docs?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I use Word mostly, except as @HighScribe said, for the docs we share. I agree with what other people are saying: Word is easier to use and has better formatting options, but Google Docs has some advantages, namely I find sharing documents easier on Docs.

SLAYING SARAAAA ✨✨ replied to the topic Encouraging Each Other in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
Thank you so much, that means a lot.
I think that my current project has just grown on me a lot. I’m like emotionally attached to it, and I’m just afraid that if it never gets published then I will have wasted all these hours. I feel like if it doesn’t get published I’ll never be able to tell the message that God has put on my heart to…[Read more]

Plunk Google Docs in front of me and get a blank expression; plunk down Word, and get a smile.
I’ve used Word all my life and have only used Docs to share my book to those I don’t email.
I’m a Word girl forever!
It is easier to share a Docs, but I find formatting soooooo much easier personally with Word. There are writing apps…[Read more] -

I do everything using Google drive, including docs. If it get’s too laggy, I just start a new doc.

-GRCR- replied to the topic Microsoft Word or Google Docs?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 5 months ago
I’ve never used Google Docs before (or at least I can’t remember ever using it)… But I have used Word before. Actually, I used Word to type everything, back in the day. I don’t use it anymore… and I kinda don’t remember a lot about it. 😅
When I got an iPad and a Mac a few years ago, I started to do all of my typing on Pages. Aa…[Read more]

I use Word, but I use Google Docs for documents I share with my brother. I’ve always used Word, and I’m more comfortable navigating it, so that’s just what I use.

@hybridlore
It was a little weird without any family there since we have been doing it for my whole life, it was also really quiet and not as exciting. I mean, last year me and my cousins got in a car/golf cart crash. 😅 Long story, (no one was hurt!)
Thanks, I’m pretty surprised that I have been sticking with my WIP this long, lol!

@hybridlore
I had a mentor tell me that my plot was all over the place. He “didn’t see where I was going” and it was “too depressing”. After reading that, I was depressed XD but then I sort of realized he was kind of right (as much as I hated to admit he was right lol), and decided to start over. It wasn’t completely starting over; I kept the same…[Read more] -

I always have multiple WIP’s… I bounce around depending on what I have inspiration for.

Thank you! It’s going to be all “true”, but I have to fictionalize some of it because no way am I going to remember EXACTLY what somebody said. But yeah, it’s going to be all about my summer!
Thanks guys!

Yeah, I typically do too, but in this WIP, the culture of the country is that the meaning of their names is very important. (And the names I’m using are Iranian/Persian) Plus, they are usually introduced by their whole name: _____ _____ al _____. Yeah. 😂

Oh goodness, a golf cart crash??? (that’s good no one was hurt!)
Yeah. My cousin whos 2-3 years younger than me was driving and I was in the passenger seat and all the others were in the back . She (not trying to be mean or anything) but she did not pay attention to anything around her. Her brother was chasing the cart trying to jump in and everyone was yelling at him to stop, she turned around, but kept her…[Read more]
