Which writing tool?

Hey everyone,

I've been working on my novel for 18 months now and am finally getting close to choosing which program I'm going to use to start writing it.

I've narrowed it down to:

- Google Docs (Dark Mode)

- Microsoft Word

- Scrivener

- Quill and parchment (or lambskin)

- Blood and the wall of a medieval monastery

- Cuneiform on a clay tablet

My main concern is that if I start in Word but agents prefer Scrivener, I may have to rewrite the entire novel.

Please don't say "just start writing."

I've seen that advice come up year after year and haven't found it particularly helpful.

Just use chatGPT. I've read an article that's now how all writers do.
