Always Take Notes (book) - what writing means to us
Always Take Notes is a podcast interviewing a lot of writers. Now they have a book extracting and categorizing words from their interviewees into various topics like how they get ideas, how they research, how they can successfully get their works published, how they treat money, how their life is, how to stay motivated... It's not only for those who want to be writers, but for everyone too!
On note taking apps and AI
Some of us have already built our own database when we can google anything we want. With the introduction of AI, we are not only able to find the answers from AI, but the app can also save our conversations and information with titles automatically generated for looking back afterwards just in case.
I sometimes think, will we no longer need note taking apps?
On the myths of writing
Writing should be a part of life for everyone, especially if you are not good at it and even a professional author.
On iA Writer and Microsoft Word; as well as Apple Notes
I am a Word hater who is tired of every kind of formatting, user interface, app crash which made me keep clicking SAVE frequently, endlessly saving a lot of versions because of FOMO….. I got rid of it many years ago because I met another app called iA Writer.
