Sisterhood of the Traveling Blog AND Writerly iPad apps

I got an iPad for my birthday–sa-weet!!!! Anywho, I’ve been fiddling around with how to use it for my writing endeavors. I am, as always, open to suggestions, so feel free to comment with any and all info you have about apps.

In an effort to stimulate the convo, I’ve linked to a SUPER blog post about iPad apps just for writers!

Macgasm (LOL, what a title!): My NaNoWriMo iPad Toolkit

Highlights of apps (many around $5-10, some free!) detailed include:

• Notebooks–syncs with Scrivener 2.0; allows you to set up folders, chapters, scenes, etc
• Simplenote–for a quick note
• Writer–resets the keypad to type easier; provides a “focus” mode to highlight only three lines of text at a time (bye-bye Internal Editor!)
• Index Cards–for notes to organize scenes
• iThoughts HD–map your ideas and connect scenes
• Outliner–outlines (yeah, pretty self-explanatory, LOL!)
• SoundNote–allows you to record while you write!
• Noteshelf–allows you to handwrite  notes without a keyboard
• Kindle App–SO cool!
• ArtStudio–doodle or sketch a scene if you’re artistically inclined

AND you can get a wireless keyboard for you iPad for around $70.

M’kay, folks. Do you have an iPad? If so, how do you use it for writerly type things? What apps have you found most helpful?
