#notion for authors

[just-a-local-dreamer]

Organizing writing documents is hard.

I used to have 9+ google documents per a single project, and at one point it just got too much. Lucky for me, I found an alternative -- Notion.

Notion is a free website that lets you make customized pages for anything you need, and makes writing and organizing and plotting so much easier.

That said, the learning curve can be steep and I recommend you start out with a template (you can find some on their website or on the internet).

And these templates look hella cute!

Here's some that I've made:

Just try it, trust me.

(My templates are available on Etsy).

Part of what charms and compels me in Jeyne Poole's arc is her reaction to her predicament. All the female POVs in this book are dealing with a lot of gendered violence, and they all deal in different but dignified forms... Jeyne is not a POV character and she is absolutely not dignified lol. She cries and begs, she is utterly helpless. But unlike most women in this book who are utterly helpless, she survives. It's frustrating how fans refuse to celebrate that, simply because there is no glory in it.

I keep thinking that this Gojo is just like Sukuna. I truly don't see much of a difference between them beyond the human/curse point of view

Kind of niche but stories where a character is a horrible misogynist and emotionally/verbally/sexually abuses the women in his life but the reader is like, assured that he would never HIT a woman (with the angle that this is supposed to be a redeeming quality) are so funny to me. Like it has the exact opposite effect. The chivalry angle kinda just makes it worse if anything.

Sorry for the Homestuck 2 hot take, but I really like James Roach’s new direction for the project. You can really feel the joy behind it, makes it feel fun again.

In 2024 I want to further distance myself from Amazon so I'm looking for alternative book trackers to Goodreads.

I'm mad autistic for lists and data collection so that's what I look for the most but the social aspect is also ok. Currently thinking of Storygraph, I heard that one mentioned a lot.

Notion Template for Psychologists ( Anxiety Management Plan )

maybe if we get an ending where afos humanity is fully on display and he makes peace with yoichi it'll finally put an end to the "afo was born evil and will always be pure evil no matter what" takes that are STILL persistent even after 407 dropped.

Dark Academia Notion Writing template

Notion is free and 100% customisable. If you haven't tried it yet, I really recommend. It has completely changed my writing process. No more messy google documents, no thousands of phone memos -- it all fits within one Notion page.

I'm so excited about this one! It is the most comprehensive template I've made thus far, and it covers every step of the novel writing process, from brainstorming and plotting to writing "The End" and doing revisions.

AI IS FUCKING RUINING ART !!!

notion now has an ai feature, meaning whatever you type into notion is being fed to the ai to use. this is so upsetting for me because i use notion for a lot of my writing, and i now have to change that :(( sad.

reread some of my ihnmaims analysis and it made me too insane so its going back in the vault

When in doubt of what object to assign to an OC, search Notion's icon list lmao.

If this stupid little Notion AI face doesn't stop rolling its eyes at me while I'm trying to be mentally ill in peace, I'm gonna find a way to reach through the screen just to punch the shit out of it.

Like, oh, what's the matter? You're bored because you're not scraping my data and destroying resources to give me lifeless ressondes based off of the work I actually put in? Does it bother you that I don't want you burning excessive amounts of coolant, cherrypicking from the stuff that came from my brain just to butcher it and take away any emotion it actually had?

Kill yourself and die forever, bro.
