One of the things that slows me down in here is the WritingML since I'm now used to Word's Track Changes. Formatting the space between paragraphs also slows me down and then I have to go and delete them when it's time to sub a manuscript for publication. I don't like that authors have to pay to be in here and have mass items in their portfolio.

I dislike ML, too. I'm on FetLife and that writing system is archaic in my opinion.

What formatting do you perform between paragraphs? I don't.

I have two documents for my stories: one for the one that eventually goes to the publisher and one that I copy/paste to for WDC postings. The only formatting I do is for italicized words. In my first document whenever I italicize I also use red font. That makes it very easy to find in the WDC version. When I submit to my publisher I use keyboard command to highlight all text and choose black font.

Then I copy/ paste the beginning command to italisize and put it before and after what needs it. Easy to go and add the slash to end the command.

Then I post here. Took me a while to get to that system, but it quite easy for me. I love to learn how others do it. Of course it would be nice if we could just paste from a Word document into WDC. I'm sure there's a valid reason why we can't.


Sincerely,
David
