Oh yay! Eleanor! 💜️

I heard about Ms. Konik when looking up ways to adapt Obsidian for fictional writing. So glad I found this! Thank you so much!

Thanks for mentioning the Shuffle Plugin, I will surely try that! It was also a great pleasure to hear from someone using Obsidian for a purpose, instead of just trying to perfect a system.

This is incredible. I've paused this video so many times to go implement things in my vaults! The johnny decimal system is the answer I've been looking for when it comes to organizing my notes and things.

I got here in a question to improve my organisation of notes and ended up enjoying a fantastic talk that even talks about sanderson!

This is the third in a row of your videos I am watching. Absolutely great content! Thanks!

Useful and fun! Thanks to Eleanor and the host.

Super interesting guest! I loved listening to her talk about her writing ♡

About 2:35 I can relate a ton; I also learned to type on a typewriter and I'm in my mid-30's! My mom had two typewriters that she bought from a garage sale and they were the ones you still had to roll the paper through. I didn't get proper training at home because mom didn't know how to type either but I familiarized myself with it. Then, once I got to middle school, we actually had a typing class, with "modern" typewriters, which looked more like fax machines, if that makes sense? The paper was a stack of paper that was all connected and you could tear off the sides. But anyway, that's where I REALLY learned to type and you still couldn't afford mistakes or you had to start all over again! Needless to say, I did cheat a bit because I couldn't remember the positions of the keys and the teacher would force us to learn by not looking at the keys and just using muscle memory and memory alone, which makes no sense! So basically, I learned the position my fingers had to be in and then I typed by looking at the keys. Eventually, I didn't have to look at the keys (that happened on its own). Just wanted to share a little story though, typewriters essentially paved the way for me to love reading and writing. Great video on Obsidian too btw :P

just beautiful! i got so much out of this interview. thanks to you both.

Everyone from OMG is happy to see you Eleanor!

Thanks! I was thrilled to have a chance to show people how I've integrated some common workflow things in a more dynamic way than screenshots :slight_smile:

Great demonstration! Just one note. 1:05:22 The Mongols have always been culturally different from the Chinese. So yes! Good to have a separate file heh! Thanks, Eleanor!

More of this please and don't calm down, this is why I tune in I don't know whether I would recognise a calm Froyle.

Great video and insights ! Thanks a lot to you guys :)

I'm a writer. I do something similar, but with Joplin. 100% of my drafting and research and 99% of my revision process happens in Joplin. Obsidian's Canvas is nice though and I use that at times. But for everything else and the actual writing process ... Joplin. Obsidian is a great tool as well though, and I wish all of my writing friends the best of luck out there.

I was hoping there would be more Obsidian info in this, given that the title actually mentions Obsidian. It seems pretty shallow on that front, though.

Some interesting bits for fiction writers to mull over here. Unfortunately I feel the conversation goes off track too often. Was hoping for lots of content about Obsidian when used for fiction. But there is a lot of chat interspersed throughout that is not obsidian. How the writer creates place names; who do you write for; fiction in general; etc Its a shame. Much of that sttuff is interesting of course, but in its place. The video comes over more:- A discussion to find out more about Eleanor Konik, fantasy writer. (during which you will discover that her preferred wrting software is Obsidian) rather than Interested in using Obsidian to write fantasy? - heres a discussion how.

Agreed. This was a seriously frustrating video.

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing! Google docs doesn't seem to capture everything I want it to as I'm planning some fiction of my own; I'm going to give Obsidian a try and this video has made me very excited and given me hope for making more progress with my works!

This was awesome!

Extremely interesting Thank you very much :)

This is golden. Thanks so much for this.

16:45 - You're talking about "productivity" (P) vs. "productive capacity" (PC) as described by Stephen Covey. Both are important, but a proper balance is required. If you spend all your time PC-ing, you never get any P done, and in the end it's P that is really what "pays you." You invest time in PC to set up to make more P in the future. So focusing totally on P isn't a "failure" as a strategy, but it probably doesn't maximize your long-term P either.

What font is "Metadata" in? I love it.

The Shuffle plugin looks neat! It might have more users if it were in the Community Repository.

Can you put this series in a podcast feed too please. I want to listen when out for walk etc. It’s good but long on KZread.

I like the suggestion, but with the primary focus often being the screen sharing, not sure how well that would play on a podcast.

Yeah - the best thing about Obsidian is that your data is LOCAL and not on someone's server somewhere. I do put my Obsidian folder on Dropbox, but that's different - I still have control and still have a local copy, and if Dropbox rolls over I won't lose my data. It's just DATA STORAGE and not data MANAGEMENT.

amazing video! which font it it?

I try to use my mouse as little as possible. I do as much as I can in consoles in the first place, and anything that draws my hands away from home typing position is a bummer as far as I'm concerned.

Numbering folders. Heh. A natural progression when the order is not alphabetic. This "Johnny Decimal System" seems interesting. It takes what everyone already does and adds rules.

This looks amazing, I've downloaded Obsidian, but cannot even figure out how to save what I've been writing

Not sure if you are still using the application more or have figured it out already, but everything autosaves!

"I have deadlines." Well said.

I believe numbering, that much, is derived from zettelkasten method of organizing files. I hope you got a book written, E.

I took typing in high school (late 1970's) because there were a lot of pretty girls in that class. Little did I know computers would make it such a valuable skill.

So the art on pottery is like the art on food cans or food packaging...

so obsidian is just a personal wikipidea

It can be used that way, but it has a lot of other functionality that makes it far surpass wikimedia installations for this sort of thing.
