Welcome to the Mac Power Users. I'm David Sparks and joined as always by your friend of mine,

Mr. Stephen Hackett. Hello, Stephen. Hello, David. How are you? I am doing great. It is time to talk about

a standard fair topic on Mac Power Users. This was one of the shows we covered in our very first 10 episodes,

but, you know, it's been, you know, 800 or so episodes since then, so I thought it was maybe

time to talk about our writing workflows again. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's an important thing. And,

you know, we were putting this together. I sort of had the realization, everybody writes,

not just writers. You get any kind of job you're doing this stuff. I sort of had the realization everybody writes, not just writers.

You get any kind of job you're doing this stuff.

So it seems like a good thing to revisit.

Yeah, that's why everybody's so freaked out about AI, frankly, because that's the one thing it does.

It's right.

We're going to be talking about the whole gamut here from research to different writing types to tools to editing.

I think we've got a really great outline. So hopefully today you will get something that'll

be helpful to you. Before we get started, in terms of preliminary announcements, I would

recommend signing up for my newsletter. I'll put a link in the show notes.

I'll have an announcement coming out very soon about the 2026 edition of the productivity

field guide. It's been really hard at work on it, and it is nearly done. It may be released when

this comes out, but it'll probably be a few days later. But sign up for it, gang, and come along with me on this journey.

It's exciting.

Always look forward to those updates.

Yeah, you know, that one, you know, I was just thinking, that's the one that gets me

the best feel emails.
