Manuel Uberti enjoys writing his journal entries with pen and paper. Lots of people do although I’m not one of them. The fact, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, that I have terrible handwriting no doubt has something to do with that. Still, I do understand the urge.
Uberti likes the pen and paper experience so much that he’s tried to recreate it for writing his blog entries. He’s got a post that describes his Emacs configuration to recapitulate the pen and paper experience. This means he uses the aggressively light theme Modus Operandi with a variable pitch font. As you’d expect, he uses Olivetti to further enhance the illusion of writing on a sheet of paper.
Finally, he uses freeze-it so that he can work only on the current paragraph. The idea is to inhibit the natural urge to edit what you’ve written before. I’m not sure what this has to do with recapitulating a bullet journal but I do know that it would drive me crazy. Perhaps that’s an indication I should be using it.
If this sort of thing appeals to you, you can get all the details from Uberti’s post. I’m perfectly happy to write in a normal Org-mode buffer but lots of folks like the feeling of working on a blank page when they write. As usual, Emacs has got you covered.
