I’m writing a novel in @obsdmd! (If you want to read chapters as I publish them, the link is further down the thread)

I use @RoamResearch, but as a productivity coach I have clients who use MANY tools. It’s important for me to understand those tools too!

I’m the kind of person who needs a REASON to use a tool. Tools facilitate things—they aren’t an end in themselves.

I took inspiration from @markmcelroy when he began writing his novel in public, and I became interested in @obsdmd ’s Publish feature.

I’ve had this novel on my mind for several years, so when these two interests aligned—learning Obsidian and writing in public—I knew it was time to dive in.

Down the road I expect to offer an @obsdmd version of my AP Productivity course, but for now I’ll be learning as I write.

The novel is called (for now, at least) “Time Worn.” I published the preface and first three chapters today:

Eventually I expect to share my writing process and notes in public, too, but I’m starting with the narrative—easier to get going that way!
