Building a personal memex
Cory Doctorow is one of the most prolific bloggers in the world, capable of publishing multiple great posts a day. He recently documented his writing and publishing process. It's fascinating.
Over the last 20 years, Cory built a huge, personal database of thoughts, articles and links. He explains how his database simplifies and supports his writing process:
The memex I've created by thinking about and then describing every interesting thing I've encountered is hugely important for how I understand the world. It's the raw material of every novel, article, story and speech I write.
Inspired by Cory, I want to build my own memex with the goal to become a better writer.
