Recently I decided to start writing a science fiction novel. I reserved a desk in my room for this purpose, I also picked up an old Thinkpad X200 on which I installed Lubuntu 24.04 and plugged in a gaming keyboard for night writing. I chose to install a minimum of applications in order to stay focused.

My main writing App for the moment is Joplin

And you?

Are you writing a book or have you already written one?

What type of tool do you use to write?

Do you have some advice to share?

How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I've just been using Google docs, which I don't like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.

To be honest, I don't know. I hope someone else will be able to answer this.
