WRITING & GARDEN NOTES
a public notebook, still growing
Longer articles are compiled to preserve content for longer, while random thoughts are recorded as ideas that are still evolving. Both are forms of genuine creation.
My approach to breaking down the goal is to first build a minimal, movable framework, and then gradually add the details that don't affect the overall structure. Later, I discovered that many people have discussed this approach, and each has even given it a name.
When other people's skills and workflows can be directly applied, we experience less friction when adapting to the framework, but those blind spots are also skipped along with it.
Those with real talent often lose to those who are good at advocating for themselves. What about those caught in the middle, who don't rely on word-of-mouth or are skilled in marketing? This is a still-growing thought.
