![]() Sure you can tweak the font size for larger screens but then expect to have comically huge text if you check the note out on your mobile devices. ![]() Yes you can pop a note out and make it full screen but then you’ve got lines of text way too long to read, and the default font sizes are way too small anyway for that type of usage. I’ve found this to be an issue for a while and been pretty disappointed in the company as they release ‘chat’ features while continuing to have a persistent bug in the core purpose of their software.Ī second beef with Evernote as a writing tool is its lack of a nice distraction-free experience. Given that much of my writing is right around 1,000 words, that means pretty much everything I wrote in Evernote had lag, which entirely broke my creative flow. The biggest issue with Evernote was its lag on content over a few hundred words. In the past I’ve said that I write with Evernote, but that’s no longer the case. So since I’m picky about my tools here’s a look at how I get my writing done for both online publications and for longer, book length content.

It might be on an iPad in the midst of a kitchen with kids coming in and out asking for random things, or a coffee shop, or alone in my office with headphones. I’m reasonably flexible on where I write. I’ve always found the goings on around me to be a much looser requirement, and the software I write with to be the thing I’m more picky about. You need a place and tools that help the words flow freely from your mind to your keys. To that end, ensuring that you write effectively and clearly requires a system to smooth the flow. Furthermore, the end goal of writing - communication - is only achieved if the reader in fact grasps what the writer wants to communicate. ![]() The writer must take the many ideas that seem clear in the writer’s head and transform them into effective communication to a reader. ![]()
