My name is Peter, I am from Vienna, Austria, am 56 years old, I am writing novels and short stories. I like to travel and write longhand notes when I am on the road, but at home I prefer a combination of LogSeq for outining the ideas for novels and stories, Obsidian for charaktersheets, essays and longer text and Papyrus Autor (a german product) to write the entire thing
The nice and helpful Santi Younger brought me here by his great videos on productivity apps.
Currently I am using the journal function of LogSeq heavily as I am detoxing myself from News and breaking News and all that shit that consumes time and give nothing back, and I like to write about my expirience into this log to see later how I have done in this time of stop mental smoking …
Best regards!
Peter
PS: my native language is german, so please excuse in advance my typos and grammar mistakes.
Santi is doing a great job showing people the potential of Logseq. I like his videos a lot.
I’ve been on a media detox for 6 years, now, and my (mental) health has improved considerably. I’m taking things in more slowly and deliberately, and allow myself the time to explore what I already have. Obsidian and Logseq have been tremendous tools at that.
Fellow writer here. I’ve heard of Papyrus, but I do use Scrivener for writing. I’m using Logseq to flesh out a story bible for my superhero world (I have stories from flash to full novels written). I think I’m more than half done, but there’s a lot to go. You know that world-building can be a big undertaking if you take it seriously!
Don’t worry about typos/grammer. Your English is far beyond my German, anyway.
When I’m traveling, I use an old laptop to create and enter new journal entries by hand. Once I get home, a re-index makes them all visible on my main desktop system. I’m looking forward to the upcoming mobile apps, so I can work from a tablet instead.
Jep, I know that world building is a shitload of work But we would not do it if we would not have fun doing it, right?
I am on a short novel right now (my first cyborg-story) and I created a big load of pages and subpages with inspirations and background information.
So far I really enjoy using LogSeq as my tool to outline and as I am one of these learning by doing guys, I do it like Jodie Foster in the movie CONTACT: Step by step, sparkle … ^^
Hi Peter,
its almost a year since your note and I do hope you are still active in this forum.
I am currently using logseq intensively for writing my mini-essays which I do publish later on on write.as. Its thrilling to create taylor-made logseq layouts for this purpose and use the various plug ins available.
What refers to detoxing from social media: I moved to mastodon which is my only only community now and enjoy the quiet and friendly tone there.
I was not here a long time as I was … I do not know. I had a job change and a lot of offline work to do, but now I am back, and I also set up my computer new, and I am back to LogSeq also as I was playing around with other tools.
