I just use Word. I actually try not to read over what I've written while I'm going - to prevent myself from stopping every 5 words and editing. I just have to go with the flow, and keep typing!
Even to the point of finishing a thread of a story, and leaving another part for a few days, to make sure the current isn't interrupted.
Grabbed some guides from websites today (I was bored writing at work so went hunting down things to help me write my novel at home) - can somebody see the insanity of this whole thing with me considering I write for a living and I'm going to be doing this in my spare time, just as well uni is finished for the semester or you'd be organising the nice men to bring me a coat that allows me to hug myself
Peanutter, if you're finding the internet a distraction, there's some award-winning productivity software you can get. One of them blocks all your internet access for a set number of hours of work, the other (for those of us who use the internet for research, etc while we're working) blocks all the main social media websites plus any others you add to the list. The first one is called Freedom and the second one is Anti-Social. It's pretty inexpensive and available for both macs and pcs. I came across it mentioned on the website of a New York Times bestselling writer and took that for an endorsement.
