Obsidian is a game changer if you want to write a book
This is the process I’m using to write my book.
My big focus for 2022 is on publishing a book. It’s a goal that’s been on my list for eons. (Write it down, make it happen, and eventually it does!).
Although I’ve dabbled with writing over the years — journaling, fountain pens, blogging, eBooks — I’ve never taken it seriously enough to believe that I could write a book.
In April 2021, I first came across Obsidian. It lit a fire beneath me. In some way it tapped into my psyche, matched my thought process and, for the first time ever, made writing a real possibility.
I can only say all this in hindsight. Now, nine months later, I have the beginnings of a second brain, replete with everything I’ve created. eCourses, newsletters, blogs, notes, references, quotes, as well as several attempts early on to outline a book.
how Obsidian made a real difference
Think of Obsidian like a bucket. Pour everything into it. Your ideas, your thoughts, other people’s ideas, references that resonate.
Create a workflow using tools like Matter, Readwise, Pocket, Kindle (and many others) to filter all this content you’re reading into your Obsidian vault.
