A Book Club Reading of A System for Writing by Bob Doto

Dan Allosso’s (Obsidisan) Book Club will be reading Bob Doto‘s book A System for Writing (2024) as their next selection. Discussion meetings are via Zoom for 2 hours on Saturdays starting on 2024-10-19 to 11-02 from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific.  New comers and veterans are all welcome to attend.

The book is broken up into 3 parts (approximately 50-75 pages each) and we’ll discuss each on succeeding weeks. The group has several inveterate note takers who are well-acquainted with Zettelkasten methods. 

If you’d like access to the Obsidian vault, please email danallosso at icloud dot com with your preferred email address to connect to the Dropbox repository.

DM either Dan or myself for the Zoom link for the video meetings.

    1. Nice catch. Not sure how that snuck in there, but easy enough to change fortunately, at least on the systems that allow it.

  1. I’m in progress with the book – I only stopped because I have trouble with committing to a consistent workflow. And since the first half of the book was so helpful to read and do the homeworks, I’m holding back on reading forward until I feel like I get a stronger hold on the practice.

    I hope I could join, I still have to convert the time zones to Europe, fingers crossed. XD

  2. @chrisaldrich If there's an interest in me stopping by (which there absolutely doesn't need to be, and I won't be offended at all), it just has to happen this weekend or, possibly, the following weekend (week 2 of the reading). Week three I'll be in Guatemala getting married.

    1. Congratulations on the pending nuptials! Come at your leisure or preference. If earlier is better than later, especially with international travel and a wedding on the near horizon, definitely do that.
