Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

@billseitz @bobdoto your guess is spot on: it’s the Zettelkasten subreddit, where I’m known as u/atomic notes. Haven’t got into substack.

@AndySylvester @chrisaldrich yes, when? The suspense is bad for my nerves

@marick A submarine? A subeditor? A sandwich? No, @bobdoto is referring to the Zettelkasten subreddit, where I’m known as u/atomic notes

@nielsk I’m not a fan of Kindle Unlimited. My book is published on Amazon as a way to distribute both ebook and paperback in multiple countries with wide reach. I intend to publish beyond Amazon though. BookVault looks interesting. Is it worth it? To avoid Amazon lock-in, yes.

@chrisaldrich that’s a great active use for a filing cabinet drawers that you. Also, weren’t those two and four drawer wooden card index cabinets designed to sit on a desktop for active use?
