My project-specific approach keeps my mind focused on the project at hand and my FoF under control. +I share my writing log template in org-mode on GitHub. + +About the speaker: + +Blaine Mooers is an associate professor of Biochemistry and Physiology at the University of Oklahoma. +He uses X-ray diffraction to study the molecular structure of proteins and RNAs important in disease. +He writes grant applications, progress reports, manuscripts, lectures, seminars, and talks each year in Emacs. +To control his fear of forgetting (FoF), he uses an external document, the **writing log**, to store metadata about each writing project. +He switched from using LaTeX to Org-mode recently. +He will discuss the features of the writing log and the joys of editing it in Org-mode. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/project-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/project-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + diff --git a/2024/talks/writing.md b/2024/talks/writing.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d05af940 --- /dev/null +++ b/2024/talks/writing.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +[[!meta title="Emacs Writing Studio"]] +[[!meta copyright="Copyright © 2024 Peter Prevos"]] +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/writing-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + + + + +# Emacs Writing Studio +Peter Prevos (he) - , , @danderzei@aus.social + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/writing-before)" raw="yes"]] + +Emacs Writing Studio is a comprehensive guide and configuration +for authors using Emacs.
