I always start from a voice note.

I don't write articles.

I talk.

I send a voice note to a bot — usually while walking, or doing something else. It lands on the server. The server transcribes it into text. I open it, cut, fix, publish.


Why this way

Because a blank screen gives me nothing.

But if I talk like I would to a friend — about something I'm doing, a decision I made, a mistake — a story comes out.

The blank screen is a block. The voice isn't.


The transcript isn't the article

The transcript is raw material. Messy, repetitive, full of filler words.

Then comes the cutting. I remove, rephrase, shorten. What's left is what you read.

It's faster than starting from a blank page. And it's more mine, because it comes from how I actually talk.


The editor is the microphone

My main writing tool isn't a keyboard.

It's a microphone. And an assistant that listens.
