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?

Yes, moving paragraphs and pages without retyping is a wondrous thing -- but the Selectric I used (at the last job that had one) had an erasing function, which saved me more times than I want to think about when I was working on that budget. And I loved the width of the roller, which could take ledger paper longways.

(When I learned to type, electric typewriters were too expensive for the school to have so we learned on large upright Olympus (Olympia?) standard office typewriters, not much different from what my mother worked on in WWII.
