My relationship with Obsidian is complicated... broke up, got back together! This time, instead of drowning in plugins, I decided to BUILD the AI tool I actually wished existed.

Episode Notes

By and for the creatively curious: #notwriting is about the life that happens when you're not at the keyboard. They say writers need to "fill the creative well" - well, this is what that looks like: a behind-the-scenes look at my life and the fuels for my fiction, poetry, and more.
