Be okay with bad writing. Most writing isn’t great! If my hit rate is 1 out of 5, I’m thrilled. Get comfortable publishing things that aren’t perfect. I know many people who wait too long to publish and, well, never do.

My approach to running a link blog (cache, source)
I realize now that link blogging deserves to be included a third category of low stakes, high value writing. We could think of that category as things I’ve found.
I enjoy the idea of a low-stakes, high-value writing category. My articles often take bits of time here and there over the course of weeks to complete, but short thoughts on all the interesting things online should be much easier.
So, here’s my first link with some very minimal commentary. To help speed up the process even more I can provide a URL to a short script to fetch the content, extract the title, create a Markdown file for me, and open it in my editor.
