+# A Writing Day in the Life with Org-Mode
+Jeremy Friesen - Pronunciation: Jair-ah-mee Free-sen, <https://takeonrules.com>, <mailto:jeremy@jeremyfriesen.com>
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2025/info/writing-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+In this talk, I’ll walk through my daily writing and organization using
+Org-Mode. Building from the basics of the Org-Mode ecosystem, we’ll look at a
+the parts that I’ve assembled to create a “rich for me” writing experience.
+
+This will be a tour of my writing ecosystem, from capturing books by ISBN,
+tracking quotes I find meaningful, utilizing abbreviations (and clarifications),
+exporting a journal node to a blog post, toot-ing about a blog post, and
+printing my monthly journal entries with references to books I finished.
+
+The goal is not to say “this is the way” but to show a bit of “this is my way.”
+And from there to have further conversation about ideas we each might
+incorporate into our writing processes.
+
+About the speaker:
+
+I’ve always aspired to be a writer. And while I haven’t published long-form
+material, I’ve been consistently writing for over a decade. In 2023, I talked
+about how Emacs super-charges my writing. And I want to revisit that
+conversation and walk through a day in the writing life.
