In this conversation with David Nicholls, I describe how I use Obsidian to support my academic writing and creative process, in response to Dave's question: Is the effort you need to put into Obsidian worth it?

I explain how I've set up different vaults in Obsidian, depending on what it is that I'm trying to do, and use examples from my own practice to show why I think Obsidian deserves all the hype. I'm not sure if I convince Dave that the benefits of using Obsidian for academic writing are worth the cost in terms of the time you need to invest, but it's a conversation that I enjoyed nonetheless.
