Brian: And today, once again, we’re talking about tools, but this time focus on tools for publishing and collaboration in writing, which is all a bit more complicated than what text editor do you use?  So, to start at the simpler end of the spectrum, though, there’s blogging and then t…

Brian: I’m Brian Hall. And today, I can’t wait, we’re talking about writing tools, talking about your writing stack. And we’ll actually spread this out over two episodes. Today we’re talking about the idea phase, outlining, collecting notes, and drafting. So just the…
