    Wouldn't install properly on Window and and now won't uninstall properly. That's a hard pass as I now have to clean this up.

      Same thing happened to me. Neither the exe or setup worked, and then had to find where the broken installation was since removing from remove programs didn't work.

    No Linux version.

    I've gotten inured to the process of writing with LibreOffice, though formatting is still a chore and a half. In the past, I'd output in .docx and import the manuscript to my sole remaining Windows machine so I could use the formatting tools within Word, but I haven't been doing that for a couple of years now.

    I must admit, my writing has slowed so much, I can hardly call myself a writer anymore. The current novel has been chugging along, and I barely have 33k words. Most of my work for last month or two has been rewriting existing chapters.
