Writing stories on your iPad is not much different from writing them on a computer. You need word processing software, a comfortable place to type and an idea of what to write about. With these three elements in place, writing your story becomes a question of your storytelling skills, which you can improve through education and practice. Whether you are an aspiring writer, seasoned professional or simply writing for fun, the iPad can make your story writing routine far more portable than a laptop or desktop computer.
Instructions on writing on iPad
Step 1
Decide whether you will be writing stories to submit to publishers, or simply for yourself, and whether you want to do the complete writing process on the iPad, or if you want to send the document to your computer for final revising before you send. If you are writing simply for yourself or don't mind performing a few steps on your computer, you can use a word processing app that creates plain text files. These apps are often free or very inexpensive, frequently priced from $.99 to $1.99, as of June 2011. If you want to create manuscripts that are ready to send to a publisher, you will need software that can create MS Word-compatible files or RTF files, as these are the file types commonly accepted by publishers.
Step 2
Launch the App Store on your iPad. To look for plain text editors, simply type "write" in the app store search box. Apps like iAWriter and Writings offer easy user interfaces for plain text writing. For publisher-ready files, check out the Pages, Doc2 HD, Documents to Go and Quickoffice Connect apps. All of these create MS Word-compatible files. Features vary between apps, so read the descriptions carefully, and choose the one best suited to your needs.
Step 3
Download the app you wish to use, and read any help or "Getting started" files after it installs.
Step 4
Open a new document in your chosen app. Most apps have you tap a plus symbol or "New document" button to do this; Documents to Go uses a small paper and plus symbol icon in the lower right corner of your file list.
Step 5
Tap inside the document to launch the virtual keyboard. Start typing anything you like, just to get the feel for the keyboard. Try rotating between landscape and portrait mode to find out which is more comfortable. If your hands fatigue after a paragraph or two, consider purchasing a Bluetooth keyboard, or the Apple iPad keyboard dock to give yourself a more comfortable typing experience.
Step 6
Explore your app's editing options, such as spellcheck and automatic corrections for spacing or capitalization. Make sure these are set the way you prefer. When writing fiction, consider turning off the autocorrect features, as they may change your character names into common words, or convert creative terms, such as fictional place names, into other words that you don't want.
Step 7
Generate ideas for your story using your favorite method, whether that is typing an outline in your word-processing app, or simply sorting through ideas in your head. Start typing the story when you are ready.
Step 8
Read back through your story after it is finished. Typing on the iPad's keyboard can lead to increased typographical errors compared to full-sized keyboard typing, so it is particularly important to review your work before sharing it with others.
If you wanna write on PC, then you should try to use Microsoft Office 2011 or Open Office
