I’ve described #Zettelkasten as a hypertext of claims¹ and I think of a nonfiction narrative as an artfully arranged and linearized set of claims (that usually build up to a master claim).
374 main notes in, I've been experimenting with writing short essays using extracted claims as a sort of outline. I've noticed a disconcerting thing. (1/3)
Over decades of writing, I've learned the process of providing a narrative justification of a claim often makes me realize the claim isn't true. Realizing this after you've written a gazillion words is not super efficient.
I'd hoped #Zettelkasten would help with that (I've been searching for a way to make writing good stuff easier), but it appears that it doesn't challenge me to rethink the same way writing narrative text does. (2/3)
