UGH! Writing in the Wilderness

[jazzypom]

I swear, if and when I drop out of fandom, it will be due to the lack of a good, free writing programme.

Not the fandom personalities or wars, or fanboys holding on to their Silver Age memories and wondering why the world just doesn't stand still for them. Nope, it will this: the lack of just a free solid, intuitive writing/editing programme.

Argh, just argh.

I had just turned my mother onto gdocs because she hates the recent version of Word because there are too many "intuitive" bells and whistles that she had to figure out how to turn off. She just wanted a simple writing program that could carry across multiple computers and would do what she told it to do, and nothing else. So much for that.

I really liked gdocs. It wasn't perfect, but my relationship with it was far less stressful than what I have with Word. My productivity has fallen, I think that's more to do with the fact that RL got crazy busy for me (though it doesn't help things when I do get a moment to write and end up spending the entire time trying to make the damned program work).
