Ironically, I use Obsidian to write first drafts and basically never use the linking feature. In fact, I use a plugin that blocks out most features (I think it's called typewriter). I use Apple Notes for note-taking because I like how simple and expendable the notes feel. I don't want to structure my thinking, I just want to throw thoughts into the digital ether and see what bubbles up later.
So there's a continuum of rough -> polished that goes: Apple Notes -> Obsidian -> Scrivener -> publication platform (i.e., Paragraph). For whatever reason, only fiction goes in Scrivener (because it's the only writing I "work at" for a long time). Essays go from Obsidian straight into the platform: then quick polish, post.
But, I do think there's an interesting possibility of using Obsidian to build fictional universes (and I was, in fact, working on an essay draft on that topic this morning, so more to come!) 1 reply
