General question to writers

[bktheirregular]

When you're trying to be creative, what sort of word processor/text editor do you generally use to set down your writings? (I've been trying Word, WordPerfect, Notepad.)

And out of curiosity, anyone still use a Selectric?

OpenOffice lately since I go between 3 computers (3 diff OS), and it's compatible with all of them.

I'm going to try out http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter.html this summer. It's free, so I'll give it a shot.

cool! Looks interesting; I might give it a shot myself.

Ooh! Okay, that looks neat. Are you going to post about it when you try it? Because I might have to give that one a try myself.

Yeah. I'm almost (!!!!) finished the first draft of my novel, so I didn't want to switch near the end. I don't think I can realistically start something new before mid-May, but you never know. I've really been spending most of my little spare time obsessing writing, and I NEED to get my house cleaned out and fixed up if I want to try to sell it. But then? It's fair game.
