Format: 20-min talk ; Q&A: BigBlueButton conference room
Status: Waiting for video from speaker

Description

In this talk, I’ll walk through my daily writing and organization using Org-Mode. Building from the basics of the Org-Mode ecosystem, we’ll look at a the parts that I’ve assembled to create a “rich for me” writing experience.

This will be a tour of my writing ecosystem, from capturing books by ISBN, tracking quotes I find meaningful, utilizing abbreviations (and clarifications), exporting a journal node to a blog post, toot-ing about a blog post, and printing my monthly journal entries with references to books I finished.

The goal is not to say “this is the way” but to show a bit of “this is my way.” And from there to have further conversation about ideas we each might incorporate into our writing processes.

About the speaker:

I’ve always aspired to be a writer. And while I haven’t published long-form material, I’ve been consistently writing for over a decade. In 2023, I talked about how Emacs super-charges my writing. And I want to revisit that conversation and walk through a day in the writing life.
