So I came to this conclusion years ago... or, at least, I did intellectually. But then I didn't do anything about it, really, so perhaps "conclusion" is a stupid word to use here.
I'll just get to the point: Doing something well is often the enemy of doing something frequently.
Taken as is, I think it's fair to say that I've kept myself from frequency at the expense of quality, but then never took the time to find that quality on even a semi-regular basis.
And yes, I know that frequent practice is the best (and possibly only) way to get to the point of high quality at a high frequency.
But then again, I've also gotten fat, quit being social, and have generally lost the taste for publicly sharing my thoughts and feelings with anyone... so maybe there's more there to explore.
Or maybe I'll wait another couple of years to post again.
On the other hand, it's been almost a decade since Blogger was the platform of choice, and the chances of anyone stumbling across this is slim. And knowing that hitting publish is a larger commitment than hitting save in a word doc might be the push enough to keep going. Kind of like the pleasure of hearing the echo of a yell in an empty public space.
And I won't have to optimize the headers, strategically insert internal and external linking, add images and white space for aesthetic, tweak the theme options for maximum readability, target specific keywords for SEO, craft a CTA...
Yeah. Word dump. That's the stuff.
I'm glad I remembered this thing exists.
