How I’m using Obsidian to keep on track of my writing

I love writing in public. It’s a form of accountability. I’m less bothered these days about people reading my writing - it took a long time to get to that point!

I use Obsidian as my writing tool. I have a backup of everything I write, and can work on my writing anywhere. It’s then automatically sync’d to Markbase.

I’ve changed my publishing schedule recently. Once a week I plan my content and create notes for each item I need to write. I can then jot down notes as they occur to me.

I do the same for Substack. Once complete, I can use the view mode, copy and paste straight into Substack, links and all.

I like keeping daily logs. They’re not always daily but almost.

I’ve started writing (almost) daily writing logs in a Substack publication. Mostly about flow or lack of it and any writing aha moments. I like writing these short posts.

I have a note with all the podcast episodes embedded.

I’m working on a series of short stories called The Death Certificate. I’d like to create 7+ stories. I have 3 in the pipeline and notes for some others.

I write my Now page in Obsidian and then it’s published using Markbase.

Notes written in Matter or Kindle automatically filter into Obsidian and are published in my digital garden.
