The roles of fit and gravity in sitting down to write, a mnml digest
A curated journey through five articles, posts and podcasts that are speaking to me this week. Pulled widely from a week’s worth of reading; and in ten sentences or fewer. A fun means of reflecting on the blogs I regularly read in a way that spreads the link love.
This week: getting things done is a search for what fits. The hunt for the right gravity that can continually pull me back to my desk — back into writing.
The State of GTD (Focused). Listening to smart people talk about their own fit is inspirational. Capturing is a process I aim to try on in the coming weeks.
How a Book is Made (NY Times). Peering behind the curtain into someone else’s process reminds me that every project is a patchwork.
In Pursuit of Balance: What’s the Sweet Spot for “Oversized” Pens?. One vital component of fit is physical. A pen’s size, for instance, needs to suit the specifics of a writing session.
What I Like About Japanese Pens (Inkstable). Fit can also be gravitational. For my writing process: a good pen is, like Braley-Palko suggests, one that drives me to use it.
InkShift – Pelikan Edelstein Apatite to Golden Beryl (Inkxplorations). Finding the right fit and the right gravity for me is a continual search. Experimenting and tweaking towards a working blend of good ideas.

Note: This is an experimental post series. I’m still playing with a creative way to share links. Future posts may look quite different as I continue to tinker. Suggestions are quite welcome!
