1 . A Notebook & Pen

Pitch Ideas can strike you like lightning out of the blue — anywhere, anytime.

Hence keep a notebook, a pen, a fancy pencil, or even a bird feather with you all the time.

Note down the abstract of the Idea/plot or the lines that swim in your head so it will be helpful to recall it while you draft.

Maybe you are a Digital Era writer, you prefer to keep it on your phone. I am not judging you.

In that case, there is One Note, Google Keep, and other useful apps if you surf the play store or App Store, again I am not judging you :)

However, I prefer a small notebook and a pencil with an eraser on the back, what can I say? I am old school.

2. Google Docs

When I started writing I used to write my first drafts in Microsoft Word. I still do sometimes, because that platform is straightforward and the best way to avoid distractions.

But the drawback is, hmmm what is the word, it is not advanced.

That’s when I came to know about Google Docs.
