General Software Discussion / Re: Software recommendations for writers
« on: June 17, 2011, 09:13 AM »I'm trying to focus more on my writing as of late and I find I get distracted when I'm on a pc that is capable of getting online. So I'm switching to a laptop for a while that has no way of accessing the internet. Any software(Preferably open source but I'm not opposed to paying for good software.) all the software must be able to run without an active internet connection though.
some software that could come in handy would be an offline dictionary, and a rhyming dictionary if possible(I haven't had much luck finding an offline version.)
I currently have Storybook for planning stories and such. Mobysaurus Thesaurus(it works but on my main machine its sluggish so I'm not sure if the laptop will be able to handle it)
and I have Abiword and Notepad++
Any more must have applications that I need to add ? any and all recommendations are welcome and appreciated.-Dochappy (May 06, 2011, 01:19 PM)
