What's Everyone Doing Now that Fediwrimo is Over? (feddit.online)

So, what's everyone doing now that the competition is over? Do you have plans for your novel?

Personally, I've set mine aside for a little bit. I am: (a) looking for a better software solution (Sokio - I'm looking at Obsidian + Longform now...), (b) doing some research before I move forward (while I don't want to do hard SciFi, I want my novel to feel like a potential reality), and (c) obviously there are the upcoming holidays which means other stuff going on.

I'm hoping to get back to my novel by the end of the year, and have a real draft written sometime early next year.

I realize how late this is response.

Anyway, I think if it were 7-8 years ago, that would be Dynalist, Obsidian's precursor. Obsidian started up in 2020 during COVID, and has grown to be one of the best PKMs since (I hadn't even heard of it that much until I started reading Untraceable Digital Dissident).

I think I have my timeline messed up. I remember that in 2015 I ended up using Notion for a while, until I had two issues with it: (1) some quirky annoying behavior with their editor that I was told they would never fix, and (2) their Android app started behaving very badly - it was so heavy that it shaved 2-3 hours off my battery life. This was somewhere in 2016 or 2017, so that's when I started looking again, and I thought I looked at Obsidian -- but it was likely still Dynalist.

I ended up on StandardNotes for a while before I found Joplin. Once I knew Joplin had an Android app that worked well, and I was able to sync between all my devices without having to pay for a service I went all in on it. (Also, somewhere in here I messed with CkickUp for a while, but it seemed like a Notion knock-off that wasn't any better for my purposes.)
