    Emacs purist here. No need to apologize. You are doing all the right things to get productive and that's what really matters. Glad you found the best way for you to leverage all the Emacs goodness right away! All the best! I'm a fan already and rooting (sp?) for you!

    I struggle with making spaghetti sentences and your approach whit 1sentence=1line is mind-blowing for me and I will definitely steal it!

      It is game changing when each sentence has to stand on its own - your tone gets more active and you vary sentence length much more often. Highly recommend!

    Do you use org roam to keep notes on characters, places, world building, plot points etc..? I want to write a fiction novel, and am looking for functionality similar to scrivener.

      I have never written fiction, but I don't see why you couldn't use it to like between characters and their relationships, locations, etc. Emacs can be really whatever you want to make it. www.masteringemacs.org/article/how-to-write-a-book-in-emacs is a decent resource.

    What font are you using? Looks like Arial, but I'm not quite sure...

      It's source code pro, when you go into the zen-mode, I'm not 100 percent sure what font is displayed though!

    What is the left column? projectile? A list of files on the current directory?

      I believe he said it was treemacs, which can be easily found in doom's init.el file commented out by default.

    I'm a "purist", but I think if I was starting out today, I'd just use doom or spacemacs. I can't switch right now though.

    • @JoshuaBlais
      @JoshuaBlais  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I may one day in the future go and re-write my config in vanilla emacs, but doom does make it so easy! I don't use that many packages though, on my installation I have over 440 that are loaded at startup.

    The thing is I write stuff like this in roam. I write too but i have entries in my roam directory and tag it for classification. I frequently write notes on my writing to imrprove as I go. I need my notes to be in my roam dir so I put my writing stuff there too.

    • @JoshuaBlais
      @JoshuaBlais  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've started using org-roam for all notes and writing as well, it is a fantastic system, and with emacs it is ultimate power!
