The idea of the Google suite of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software you can download to your phone, tablet or computer is a great idea if it works when you need it. I am looking at either updating my tablet or purchasing a Chromebook laptop computer for writing on the fly.

I write all of my blog posts in Google Docs first and then copy/paste into WordPress when I am done. That way I can work off-line and move forward with posts on the train, the bus or when I am sitting in a cafe somewhere. However, what I have learned I’d that Google Docs is not always available when I want it, I have to be on mobile data and that is not always.

What I like about Google Docs is that it is always on hand, when I walk around and come up with an idea for a post, I can either add it to the list of topics. Likewise, I can begin my draft whilst the inspiration is clear in my mind. This allows me to write a draft, then I can come back and edit the rough draft when I have a base idea down on a word processing document.

I do not have one of those small Google Chromebook notebook computers that I can carry around with me, but if I can get a small notebook for a good price, then I am in. I need to carry my notebook around with me and get writing again. A bar, a cafe or a restaurant makes a perfect setting for creative writing, there is plenty of stimulus.
