Choosing writing tools

Tools for producing and improving written work: grammar and clarity checking, paraphrasing, translation, and the note-taking and organisation software that holds a long piece of writing together.

Most of these are genuinely useful for the mechanical parts of writing — catching the correctly-spelled wrong word, tightening a paragraph that runs long, working in a second language. None of them decide what is worth saying, which remains the part that takes the time.
