>What tools do you use?
Online notepad mainly.
Got a little physical note book for keeping track of cerain words/names and keeping the spelling of things consistent.
I use duckduckgo to look stuff up.
Sometimes I use online dictionaries and translators.
And I have been recently been trying out lillyspeech for dictation, but not sure I like it yet.

But yeah, mainly online notepad. It does only what I need so helps keep me focused.

> What's the process look like?
I spend my shift at work thinking about the story, with my breaks looking stuff up for the story.
Then when off work I dump what's in my head onto the page. I do that for a few sessions until I have a few chapters to work with. Then I polish them up a bit with some proof reading and such, but usually avoid major structural edits until very large chunks of the story are done.

Haven't competed a full book yet so far, but hopefully the current one I am working on will get to the finish line.
