onedeadplotbunnyIt's an old saying: "A new broom sweeps clean."
I've found that this can apply to writing as well. I don't just mean changing your methods or approach (e.g., writing out of sequence if you're usually linear, or freewriting if you're usually a detailed planner), I mean actually trying a new writing tool--or even switching to trusty paper and pen. Sometimes it's just the jolt you need to get things flowing--or at least save you some hair pulling.
So, what tools do you use? What do you use them for? Why do you love them? What do you wish they did better?
