Markdown for Writers: The Beginner's Guide to Writing Without Formatting Anxiety
You open a new document. Before you type a single word, you make five decisions. What font? What size? Should the heading be bold or just larger? Where do the margins go? Should you use a template? You haven't written anything yet, and you're already exhausted. This is formatting anxiety: the quiet drain of making visual decisions when you should be making sentences. Most writing apps are designed for formatted output. Markdown is designed for getting thoughts down first. This guide is for writers who have heard about Markdown but never quite started, or started and stopped because it seemed too technical. It isn't. You'll be writing in Markdown within the next ten minutes.
