I Want To Write ✍🏽 A Manuscript

[Anonymous]

I want to write a manuscript for a possible memoir.

I do not own a laptop or iPad/tablet but I do have an iPhone 16.

Is there any way I can write one on my phone?

Thank you in advance for responding!

Maybe in Journal?
I think it is already installed

I think many authors write their manuscripts on their Smartphones.

They probably download an app though.

Scrivener app

I once read a novel-length fanfiction that the author said was written on a phone. It has since been transformed into a professionally published book.

What about good old pen (or pencil) and paper? I don't think anything on your phone will be that good.

^^ This is how Naomi Judd wrote her book “Love Can Build A Bridge.”

Or rumor has it that the famous writer Danielle Steel still writes her novels on a $20 typewriter she got years ago.

How old are you?

Awful lot on a small screen.
You can get simple tablets for a couple hundred dollars. Android is easy.

Well then how will they do emojis?

Sounds like a troll post.

Go to the library and use their computers?

Pay money to buy a computer?

Get a typewriter?

Write by hand, on paper?

I would never in a million years write a book on a smartphone.

I’ve actually been working on a piece of writing partially on my phone. I have it on a google doc. Now that I am about 100 pages in, writing on the phone is really difficult. I have to open up my laptop and work on it there and periodically print out the whole thing for a read through and revision. Sometimes if I get an idea I open the document on the phone and start writing. I actually am getting to the point where I need a separate document for notes and ideas.

This is very helpful advice right here.
