Coaching Connection: Writing Software
This week’s Coaching Connection question comes from Kristine and our topic will be writing software. Let’s get started!
Kristine,
Thank you so much for your question; it’s a good one!
Two writing software applications I use daily and recommend are Google Docs and Grammarly.
It does depend on what type of writing you’re doing, but for articles/blogs, those are the two I recommend. Deanna spoke about using Scrivener if you are thinking of writing a book.
Google Docs
I have written about Google Docs before because I can’t begin to tell you what a difference it has made in my career! I am often running around with my kids and my laptop, or if I am at work, I can always log into Google. It is an excellent platform because you can do pretty much anything you can do in Word, minus a few technical things. What’s also cool is that you can collaborate with your team on it. If you are having a meeting, everyone can write into the doc at the same time. Really cool. Also, many clients like Google Docs because it is compatible with every system.
Grammarly
I love Grammarly because it is an inexpensive option to help with my grammar, sentence structure, and voice. I was a nurse before I was a writer; therefore, my grammar is never 100%. I like to write in a conversational tone, which sometimes isn’t the best to read. Grammarly is nice because you can integrate it into your browser and use it for email (and everything else) as well!
I hope you try those tools, Kristine. Let me know if there is anything out there that you have tried and love.
