Writing

I've mostly been writing in Obsidian. I use syncthing to sync between my phone and computer, and use git as version history from my computer. For the most part, it's powerful enough for all my text editing and brainstorming needs, and the internal linking etc is nice for maintaining stuff like world-building notes when I'm writing something complex.

That said, I also do some writing on paper or my phablet using a digital pen and simple handwriting apps when I feel like it, and use transcription as an opportunity to do first-pass edits on stuff. I actually do very little of my writing at a desk - the ability to write when and where I'm inspired by something isn't something I can compromise, so I primarily use desktop applications for editing and formatting after the fact. Words on paper/screen is most important given my busy life, so I go for convenience (obsidian mobile / writing on my screen using the pen) over fancy editor features. I'm not at the point where I'm thinking of the words to put down faster than I can type on my phone, so getting a few hundred words in while I walk to daycare works great.
