In fact, [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) itself is free and there are already Shunn export plugins:

> **[Shunn Export](https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/shunn-export)**
>
> Export your Obsidian notes as properly formatted Shunn manuscript DOCX files, ready for short fiction submission.

> **[Standard Manuscript Format Export](https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/standard-manuscript-format)**
>
> Export a story to Shunn's standard manuscript format as a .docx or .rtf, ready to submit.

That should turn this into like a two-click, 5-second job.
