Writing Resources

I write in Mac pages (iOS, iOS) for academic work. But… I do my all my drafts in Obsidian (I’ll post my iA theme later) and iA Writer (the OG).

I have attached the fixed font and APA7 style Pages template. I draft and write notes and everything in Duo and you can grab them here.

They way I write…

Although APA7 governed, you can write your draft the way you want. You can use Google Docs or word or whatever to be honest, but I work on a Mac and I like it fast and minimal. Pages is fast (like Apple notes). I don’t know what they did to optimise that cursor but it’s great.
At the end of the day it is just a bunch of styles you need for submission. In my case, I can choose my font, etc. It is not a doctoral submission or a legitimate research paper, but an assessment (more on that at a later date).
I use Obsidian in parts, that being I break up my assessment into parts. This can be your own or provided by your university. For example, Part 1 (P1) might be “Introduce the abc and bring context to the blah blah” (use 100 words). Then Part 2 and 3 might be together, such that you have a continuation of answering (basically 2 and 3 are a section). They also have their guide for word counts (in some institutions you get marked down for writing too little or too much).
So this is why I have the section styles and I put int P1 (100 Words), etc.
You can turn on select word counts to make sure you’re not fucking it up.

I have another document open, “References”… generally “UNITID AID – REFERENCES”. Unit ID (obvious) AID - Assessment 3 “A3” – Name of assessment. e.g. “BA9000 A3 – References”. This is because you’re working to a word count and your references are not included.
All of this is the final composition. Everything else is done in Obsidian or iA, etc. Depending on your work, it could be in R or Python files as well. Your course could also have a video and the script is submitted too (online courses).
I have a whole article on learning with AI. It is still being perfected as I continue through my MBA but so far it has yielded 100% on results.
p.s. Have fun!
