#writing app

It’s me. I’m the problem hehe

hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.

my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.

but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.

here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)

as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!

best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free! EDIT: some reblogs have mentioned that you can apparently link your own personal cloud storage (dropbox, gdrive, icloud, etc.) to obsidian for free! that way you can access your obsidian vaults across multiple devices without the extra fee. i don't mind supporting the devs but just something to look into if costs is a concern.

i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.

Hundreds of you have told me how much StimuWrite has helped you, and for months I've been working hard to find a way I can continue to develop it to be the best writing app for neurodivergent people and keep it free for everyone. Yesterday, that culminated in hitting publish on the new Patreon page!

With patreon support, I'll be able to regularly release themes, add-ons, content, and free updates to StimuWrite. This month, I've released two new themes for patrons, and have an exciting addon ready for next months rewards.

For just $5/month you'll get 1 or 2 new themes and/or addons each month

If you have the extra cash & want to contribute more, there are 2 other membership levels that will give you all of the pre-patreon content & a more prominent place in the credits. If you can't afford it, that's totally okay! The base app is free forever and I'll continue to add features for you.

have SO much cool stuff lined up and planned, and if you can afford it, I hope you'll go on this journey with me. I'm endlessly grateful for the kind words and donations in the past, and humbled by how many words this little app has helped people write. Long live StimuWrite!

I do not know how and why I became to be messenger of such news, but maybe because I am tired of all the focus on bad and negativity, so here's another good news. Another company joined Team Human - keep supporting companies and products that support human creativity!
