How I use Obsidian in my Fiction Writing Process, Part 1
Writing my first novel overwhelmed me until I started using Obsidian for my fiction writing too.
I’m currently writing my first novel. I technically started writing this book almost two and a half years ago.
Except I never really started to write, aside from a few notes.
I spent years distracted by all the shiny things before I settled in to seriously start writing it last year. Then I ran into other issues.
I’m a long-time user of Ulysses and (used to) love it. So when I started dedicating time to writing every day, I used Ulysses.
Until I lost a chapter after one of my morning sprints.
It just went ‘poof!’ 😱
The whole chapter was gone with no warning. I researched and discovered this could have happened because of how it syncs with iCloud.
Of course, it was a glitch. And glitches happen. But at the time, I was excited and in the groove while I typed away on my chapter. I had written over 3,000 words during my sprint that morning and was so proud.
Only to lose it all.
I have limited time to write for myself each day since I work and am a caregiver too, so…
