There is a scene in 1 of my favourite books, "Dance, Dance, Dance" by Haruki Murakami, in which the protagonist refers to his job as a commercial writer as small alot more than "shovelling snow". A euphemism for some thing a person has to do. To counter that feeling, I've put together a list of labour-saving smartphone writing apps that are confident to put the joy back into writing, or at the rather least, make the course of action pain-absolutely free.

App 1:

Evernote When I initially began out as a copywriter, I made use of to preserve a little book just for collecting tips. Evernote permits you to collect your thoughts and musings although on-the-go. You can also save photos and voice recordings to it too... and for cost-free.

App 2:

Swype and SwiftKey X We all know the keypad on a smartphone can by no means replace a full-sized keyboard. But download Swype or SwiftKey and you'll be the swiftest typist in the south, or north or wherever you live. Here's how. Swype operates by letting you swipe your fingers across the keyboard to get the letters you want. It then turns those letters into the desired word. SwiftKey functions on the identical principle, and even suggests complete sentences based on your writing style.

App three:

Dropbox As the tagline suggests, its aim is to Simplify Your Life, which is no negative thing when you have a hundred pressing items to do. Dropbox lets you share large files quickly and synchronise them for access on your smartphone, laptop or personal computer. You can also invite people to your Dropbox folder so they can access your operate at every stage of the method.

App 4:

Manuscript This is a fantastic small project management tool with an in-built thesaurus and dictionary. It also has access to Wikipedia and Google. Aimed extra at novel writers (no excuses for not writing that book now), it enables you to pick, move, and export your work and export current perform to the app by way of Google docs. A raft of other attributes for aspiring novelists is also included.

App five:

Wonderful Note This is a nice little personal organisation app that visually ticks the box. It enables the user to pick the colours, background images, fonts, and icons and annotate them with images or self-made drawings. Notes can appear in graphic calendar format to make your working day look as though it really is going to be a complete load of entertaining.
