# A Writing Day in the Life with Org-Mode
Jeremy Friesen - Pronunciation: Jair-ah-mee Free-sen, <https://takeonrules.com>, <mailto:jeremy@jeremyfriesen.com>

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.
