Om Prakash Singh is fairly new to Emacs and wanted to increase his skills and knowledge so he accepted the Emacs 30-day challenge. I found Day 7, Commands for Human Languages, particularly interesting. I use Emacs for a lot of writing as well as programming, so I’m always interested in picking up new tips. I don’t use any “word processing” programs so everything I write I write in Emacs1.
Singh’s post is really a recapitulation of the commands and modes that are useful for writing text. But even if you’re experienced, you may find some useful commands. I learned a couple of things about fill prefixes that could come in handy. The post is well worth taking a look at. If you’re a n00b, you definitely should take a look.

I mean that more literally than you might think. For several years I have avoided pen and paper and tried to capture everything digitally.
