@WriteDraft is a tool I’ve been building for the past two years aimed specifically at writing rough drafts. Check out my reasons for building it at https://t.co/Z3UhjggAWq and signup to find out when it’s going to be available to the public!

New website is coming along. Looking forward to sharing it.

New version is almost ready to go, fully online this time to ease adoption. Will also be 100% free (for now).

@WriteDraft (with sync) is continuing to work well for me. Started this session on my phone while I waited for my son to fall asleep, then shifted to my computer to finish it off. Pretty seamless, but the word count is getting off sometimes. Have to fix that next :)

Still very early version, but it is working! Draft coming to iOS in the near future!

Mobile version is coming along pretty well. Should be ready for internal testing for #NaNoWriMo 🙌🏻

Anything that introduces more stress or decision making disrupts the creative process.

The fact that writing apps have a “focus” mode implies that the default is distracting.

People are literally buying keyboards with a tiny built in screen from 15 years ago because it’s a better #writing experience than using a computer.

869 words this morning. Not too bad given my state of zero motivation at the beginning of the session. Thank you @WriteDraft for helping me keep moving forward.

Focus mode in Word or Scrivener is what is called a workaround. This is not what the software was designed to do, but here is way that might work for you.

What if it is the limitations of pen & paper that make it work so well?

#WritingCommunity

The fact that people are still #writing rough drafts on paper proves the job being done by current writing tools is not satisfactory.

I view a first draft as slapping the first coat of paint on a wall. My objective is to get the paint out of the can and to have the courage to paint. As I apply more coats I refine the way it looks. #nonfiction

Does your writing software help you get into flow? Do you have to fight against it to get there?
