THANK YOU! This really helped and you were wonderful because you kept it simple, easy to understand and stayed focused. You have earned another loyal subscriber. Keep up the great work!
I'm glad it helped! I'm slow at posting videos because I only make them when I feel like I have something to contribute. That said, hang in there, I've got some ideas for more videos. Thanks for the follow!
Thanks so much for putting this information out there! There are many people in underprivileged situations who can't afford to buy any of the products a lot of writers suggest these days. Personally, I think it's awful that the impressions these suggestions leave could make potential writers feel that only the premium products are worth anything for starting their career as a writer. Money really shouldn't be a barrier to entry for people who could become great writers and impact the world and raise themselves out of obscurity by their hard work.
Google docs is a no go especially if you live in a country that does not allow free speech, so I have to use a VPN for my own protection, unfortunately.
I like the way you describe as well as show. I am blind so I appreciate a well organized presentation. Do you know of free or paid version Writers app that is screen reader friendly. Too often they have images that are not described for blind readers. Do yuou have a suggestion besides Pages on the mac os. Pages jumps and difficutl for blind users Thanks for your help.
Good to have free options when many clueless software developers want to charge considerable subscriptions per month. Too many think their one bit of software, with limited functionality, is more valuable than the whole microsoft office suite! It's mad! Happy to buy software ONCE, and at a reasonable price. But the ongoing extortion model needs to die fast.
Very helpful, thanks! I have been fed up with Ms Word ever since they introduced the banners. I even paid for old fashioned menus to restore the functionality I am used to. I am also concerned about the pressures to keep an undated version of OS and Programs, although I am quite satisfied with what I already have. So I am moving to Linux. Libre Office looks the same on Windows and Linux, and if it is flexible enough, I would stick to it. Your video helps clarify that point.
I paid for Scrivener a couple of years back, and when I went to reinstall the serial number was locked behind a third party corporation that no longer supported the license. I couldn't even pay for an upgrade and the software is unusable...so yeah, might as well go free.
That's frustrating to say the least. Scrivener customer service has always been responsive the few times I asked for help. Sorry that wasn't your experience. I hope you find an app that meets your needs!
Thanks for watching! From this video I use Libre Office and Gimp. I've used Kindle Create in the past. I write in Scrivener and then use Vellum to prepare my books for publication.
If you're struggling with google docs, you might want to consider hiring someone from Fiverr to do the layout. While I'm sure you could figure it out, it's worth considering how much time you want to spend on learning a program that can do what you want.
It's so absurd to me that Campfire has the nerve to charge like $15 per month for the software. I can recreate what it does using folders and text documents on google or just my own computer, I just like the convenience of having it all on one app and not having to navigate actual computer directories for my notes, or being able to edit things on my phone when I'm out and about (which I could also achieve for free by setting up a remote desktop server). Campfire doesn't offer anything unique to the writing experience, it has no business charging any more than like $5 as a convenience fee. I'd also be willing to just pay a one-time purchase for a writing software, I value the convenience and a nice UI to streamline the writing process. I'm not cheap, I'm willing to spend money where it matters, but I understand the value of a product and Campfire is not a software that's worth a $300+ lifetime license. That's HALF of what PHOTOSHOP used to cost. That's more than how much CSP CURRENTLY costs.
I have Scrivener v2 paid 35,- Lifetime! to have it installed (.exe) on my computer. IT IS REALLY MINE. Which you don't have with all those browser programs. Bought AION timeliner to connect it with my Scrivener. Aion is way to difficult. Love Scrivener and hate Aion. There is now a Scrivener V3. The forum is still lively. But i Stick for now with my lovely V2. Cool thing about Scrivener is that you can unlimed cork planes. So timeline, Artifact line, Character line you can all make it. Also you can make unlimited maps with text planes or cork planes underneath it. Bibisco paid version is with tax 46 Euro and is just plain anoying. campfirewriting has a free section to. And that is also a cool thing. Lifetime payment is per section and that is quite hefty. Also consider Browser programs are not really lifetime. Further hate Grammarly. Which is not free! The good things you need are in PRO. lOVE Hemingway Editor!! TOTALLY FREE
