This time on the Books & Beer Hangout, Patrick McLean grabbed a vodka cranberry, endured our harassment of his drink choice, and shared why he does so much of his writing in Markdown. Patrick explains what Markdown is, why he loves it, and how it helps him in both his writing and his publishing. A few tasty morsels:

* Why writing in plain-text can simplify your work.
* Why you should worry more about the content than the structure as you write.
* The flexibility of being able to easily export your content to any other program.
* How Markdown files are similar to ebook files, and why that's helpful.

... and a whole lot more! See the full show notes at http://goo.gl/eS7U7 and to subscribe to the RSS feed and never miss an episode.
