Professional writers sound like they have the best job, after all, they get to use their imagination and work with language all of the time. But there are some more tricky thing that you have to deal with too like keeping to deadlines, being on top of your finances, and dealing with writer’s block. Luckily there are some apps that can help you out when you need it. Read in to find out more.
Accounting
Would you rather choose to make a decorative jacket with all of your receipts? Instead of actually file and log them in the proper way? Then maybe you could benefit from an accounting app like the one offered by Quickbooks.
These apps are designed to allow you to separate out your business transactions from your personal ones. While allowing you to keep on top of both. They are also super secure, as you would want from any app that is dealing with your financial and bank information.
Lastly, apps like these tend to show you graphically your profits and losses, as well and generating an automatic tax report for your convenience. Which can save you a lot of time.
Although it is worth bearing in mind that they can’t advise you on tax law in your locality or provide you with assistance if you have a tax issue that need to be resolved. In cases such as these it’s still better to call attorney-at-law Joe Callahan to represent any state or federal tax issue, or another professional in the tax field in your area.
Dictation
Another great app for writers to use is a diction one like Dragon Speaking. These are designed to listen to your voice as you speak, converting what you are saying into text without you having to touch the keyboard. In fact, you can even edit your work with these apps, once they have got used to your voice.
Therefore apps like these have the potential of saving you masses of time, and making you much more productive. As you can always speak quicker than you can type.
Spelling and Grammar
Another app that is great for writers to use is one like the Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus.
I’m sure as a writer you have occasionally been stumped for the proper term for something. Or had a much better way of describing an event just on the very tip of your tongue? Well, if so you can now easily and quickly look up antonyms and synonyms on the go. So you don’t have to stop writing even when you are out and about.
Organizational
Lastly, many writers find that keeping on top of their ideas, work, and notes can be something of a challenge. So, if you are used to writing your latest idea for a best-selling novel on the back of a paper napkin, you may want to rethink your strategy.
Happily, there are quite a few apps out there that are designed to hold all of this information, that can be access whenever you are. So you never need to lose a good idea again.
In particular, Chapters is a simple app that does this well. Allowing you to see how much you have written in each section and keep everything all in one place.
