This is how I actually write — from first idea to published post — using a combination of Obsidian, Claude, and a few scripts that handle the tedious parts.

The Setup

What’s running and why.

The Trigger

How a writing session starts — not with a blank page.

The Draft Pass

Getting the rough shape down without overthinking.

The AI Pass

What I hand off to Claude and what I keep human.

Publishing

Getting it out the door without losing momentum.
