Emacs Carnival 2025-07: Writing Experience

It is month two of the Emacs Carnival and I am hosting July with the topic of “Writing Experience”.

This is such a wide ranging topic but one I know the Emacs community and beyond loves to discuss. It usually produces some interesting posts and workflows. Whether you are writing novels, zettlekasten or simply taking notes, what is your writing experience in Emacs. Denote, Howm, Orgmode, Org-Roam, Journal, it doesn’t matter. How does your writing workflow in Emacs translate to your mobile devices? What are your pain points? What are your successes? Lay it all out there.

I’m hoping the July topic produces new ideas and inspiration. Have fun with it.

What’s a Blog Carnival, Again?

(Copied from Christian Tietze introductory post)

A blog carnival is a fun way to tie together a community with shared writing prompts, and marvel at all the creative interpretations of the topic of the month. I’ve provided a couple of interpretations above, but you may think of something else entirely. That’s amazing, roll with it, that’s what makes this fun!

For future Carnivals, check out the “Carnival” page on EmacsWiki. It includes instructions, and is our community space to coordinate participants and topic ideas.

We are still needing more hosts so please volunteer if you want to host one of the months by adding your name to the EmacsWiki page.

Submissions

I’ll aggregate all the submissions for July in this post. I do not yet have a contact form on this new site so you can email me at [email protected] or DM me on Mastodon with a link to your submission.
