Do you ever think…

I don't have anything original to say, and even when I do, I don't know how to say it.
quotation mark image
I have all these ideas but can't seem to put them all together into a finished piece.
quotation mark image
Why would anybody want to read what I say?
quotation mark image
Why do I always seem to get stuck halfway? Why do I abandon my writing so often?
quotation mark image
I want to share my ideas but am too worried about what other people think.
quotation mark image
If any of these resonate with you, there is a way to take the power back. I know because I've been there. I've felt all of these at some point—especially feeling like my words weren't good enough.

Here's my story.

I buried a book I wrote because I was shamed

In December 2014, I printed a draft of my book. It was 194 pages and 43,000 words. Now, almost ten years later, I’m staring at it again for the first time and I have tears in my eyes. I poured my heart and soul into it—weaving together meaningful life lessons into a book I called “Amateur’s Quest”. 

But because of one person’s opinion, I buried the book.

For the past ten years, I’ve hidden from the shame I felt from the feedback I received. Are you wondering what he said? Well, I took good notes ;)

  • You sound like the guy at the psych ward, lol, self-aggrandizement.
  • Your title is insulting. Am I the amateur? Are you? Is this young adult?
  • It's a terrible title for self-help. It’s like you’re telling me a convoluted joke.

Even if what he said wasn’t completely untrue, it was completely demoralizing. I basically paid a bitter man to kick me in the groin. It was W.B. Yeats who said “Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” 

I stopped dreaming after that.

I switched careers and moved to LA a year later. I focused on working my way up in TV, first as a lowly production assistant, and last as part of the editing team on the final season of Better Call Saul. I loved rapidly learning and rising within the industry.

Fast-forward to March 2020. I joined the brand new Obsidian forums on Discord. In the early days of the pandemic, everyone was connecting online in new ways. Those were the best days in Discord. We would all geek out on each new Obsidian update and excitedly explore the ramifications with each other.

By May 2020, I did the thing I hadn’t done in years: I shared something vulnerable with strangers. It was the first version of Ideaverse Pro—a starter kit of linked notes. 

This time, no one said I should seek mental help.

Instead, everyone was curious. They shared insights and they had questions. So, in between editing a TV pilot, I continued to iterate on my starter kit and share new versions. And more comments arrived. It was a wonderful feedback loop.

Looking back on those days, I can say this with 100% certainty:

Without the Obsidian community, Linking Your Thinking would not exist.


I want to create that space for you. I want to give that feeling to you. Because we need you. 

Now, more than ever in this world of regurgitated writings, gross AI text, and false personas; we need you to be able to communicate as the Truest You—the Youest You—as you can possibly be.

Your writing is welcome. Your voice has dignity. Your words have meaning.

Imagine overcoming everything that's blocking you from writing at your best

I want to help you unlock whatever it is that is getting in your way, whether it’s some psychological barrier or some practical problem or some combination of both.

Since 2020, I’ve written so much I can’t even calculate the amount. Here is an incomplete list: 

  • 2000 significantly original notes, 250 newsletters, 150 YouTube videos
  • 500 mini essays in a Choose Your Own Adventure format
  • 200 live trainings, 200 educational course lessons
  • 10 in-person speeches, 2 short stories, 1 screenplay
  • 1 book proposal
  • and in a little over two years, a traditionally published book.

But don’t celebrate that! Celebrate the change. 

Because for the six years prior, I was too scared to write anything.

Yes, I was bursting with ideas, but I kept them buried until I found the right environment (the Obsidian forums)—and the right process (using linked notes)—to support my words until I fully found my voice.

I created Writing Original Works to help you find your voice.

Academic Writing & Research
Rob Schick is a Senior Scientist at Southall Environmental Associates. He is a quantitative marine ecologist, and has a masters and PhD from Duke University. His research focuses on the impact of humans on marine mammals. In particular he examines how human caused sound in the ocean changes movement and diving patterns, in an effort to minimize our impacts and conserve biodiversity.

Millions of academic papers are published each year, and yet a small few are relevant to researchers and writers as they embark on a new manuscript. How do we make sense of what is out there? How do both read them, ingest the information, and make connections across papers and ideas? How do we remember them when we need them? No workflow is perfect, and mine is always a work in progress. As such, I'll talk about my current workflow that comprises Obsidian, the Excalidraw plugin, Zotero, and Overleaf which is a collaborative writing software.

Do it together to do it better

Students from around the world, in industries large and small, have used the techniques and exercises in this course to find their voice, improve their writing, and gain a powerful community of creative allies committed to the messy practice of developing a reliable process for writing original work.
The session before the session worked!!!! I got back into my playwriting project this morning thanks to [this technique], and I am super jazzed…suddenly I was bursting with “sparks becoming remarks” like popcorn in a cast iron pot.

Meet the creator of Linking Your Thinking

Hi, I'm Nick Milo.

I’ve spent the last 15 years using digital notes to create and grow a fitness boxing into an international company, produce two independent feature films, become a TV and film editor, and—perhaps most importantly—to calm my thoughts and make better sense of the world around me.

Hi, I'm Nick Milo.

I’ve spent the last 15 years using digital notes to create and grow a fitness boxing into an international company, produce two independent feature films, become a TV and film editor, and—perhaps most importantly—to calm my thoughts and make better sense of the world around me.

I’ve tested and stretched the limits of Personal Knowledge Management in the “real world”:

  • from the fitness industry 🏃‍♂️  to the film industry 🎬
  • from the football field 🏈   to civil engineering 🏗
  • from strength training 🏋️‍♂️  to the boxing ring 🥊
  • from public speaking 🎤  to content creation 🎨

What I’ve learned is this: being effective at managing knowledge is a superpower—and linking your thinking supercharges it.

The frameworks I teach unlock our ability to work with ideas in a way that is fast, flexible, and future-proof. I have taught the principles of linked notes to thousands of people with great results. These principles are flexible enough for you to shape them to your unique use cases and personal needs.

A week in the life of a WOW writer

Imagine it's the Monday of Week 2. Last week, you only had five hours to devote to the workshop, but you're excited because this week you have seven.

At 9:00 AM Pacific, you attend the expert session with fantasy novelist Lionel Davoust because you want to write fiction someday, and you've heard he's figured out how to write 1400-word novels using linked notes as the foundation. You attend and it's amazing. 

On Tuesday at 9:00 AM, you attend Nick's second Super Session. This 90-minute session weaves in theory with hands-on-the-keyboard writing exercises and targeted breakout rooms. It's kind of intense, but you're developing your unique voice and making breakthroughs on your writing efforts. 

On Wednesday at 9:00 AM, you attend Nick's second Workflow Session. In this 60-minute session, you further stress-test the techniques and writing tactics to your actual writing. You not only leave with more originally written work, but with a growing sense of confidence in your writing process. 

On Thursday, you have a work meeting at 9:00 AM Pacific, so later you watch the recording of Kimberly Peticolas' expert session on how to kickstart your manuscript with confidence.

That's only 5 hours, so on Friday you spend half an hour in our online "tavern" to read the chats and then the "campfire" to read the deeper discussions. You spend another half hour watching the starred lessons in the Technique and Style modules. You spend the last hour rewriting the 750-word section of a chapter you've been working on in Nick's live sessions, and you post it as your Week 2 submission.

In just seven hours, you are thrilled with your writing progress. Not only did you write words you are proud of, you significantly improved your writing process. It's a reliable, repeatable process that you've never had before. Wow, indeed!

P.S...In Week 3, you are busier. You only have two hours to spend in WOW, so you attend Nick's Super Session and then give yourself permission to watch the other events and lessons later. You feel good about that because you know you have lifetime access to the recordings.

What should I expect out of the WOW course?
Writing Original Works focuses on the process of expressing your ideas.

The WOW course will help you do the following:

Turn your linked notes into clear, meaningful writing that connects with your readers.

Learn how to hone your voice and improve how you write original works you are proud of.

Experience a complete solution to your writing process, regardless of your unique use-case.

Build sustainable momentum using the power of linked notes.
What shouldn't I expect out of WOW?
Writing Original Works focuses on writing process leveraging linked notes, but does not cover fundamentals of "how" to use a notemaking tool like Obsidian.

However, free resources like the Ideaverse Kit for Obsidian do offer a great knowledge management foundation.

To learn more about (and master) the tool Obsidian itself, my separate product, Obsidian Flight School does just that and more.

It also won't cover most of my opinions, strategies, and tactics on managing ideas. These are more deeply covered by the LYT Workshop.
Do I have to use Obsidian?
No. You'll just want to use something that allows you to link notes quickly.

So that would be something like Obsidian or Roam or Remnote or Athens or anything that allows for link-based notes can work.
I'm new. What type of technical help can I expect?
That said, please have a basic understanding of how to make links and how to make tags. This is not a course on teaching you Obsidian!

Now as far as the WOW Course, all the examples are shown in Obsidian, and the fancy advanced features are not needed. I'll talk about some cool hotkeys from time to time, but the focus is squarely on how we can work with link-based notes. These are timeless fundamentally no matter the software.
What’s the difference between this Writing Original Works course and the LYT Workshop?
The Linking Your Thinking Workshop is our flagship offering. It’s for when you want to create your custom & connected thinking system—a system you can use from the rest of your life to do your best thinking more often.

Let’s use the ARC Framework (Add, Relate, Communicate) to compare each. The LYT Workshop covers all of them, but focused Adding and Relating ideas, whereas WOW puts the most focus on Communicating ideas. Think of WOW as complimentary to the all-powerful LYT Workshop; more targeted towards writing, and with an extra emphasis on Communicating.
