thanks for this, i find myself struggling wrt this a lot. i *know* that i would be more satisfied with my writing if i spent more time revising, and yet it feels hard to justify when there's so many other things to write about. i can imagine people getting really excited about a big famous writer revisiting and reediting their older work, but when i mention reediting some of my own posts i feel like "who cares?"

Really interesting thoughts! I have a master's in English and I heard throughout my education that writing is never finished, it's abandonded. You can fine-tune and edit to no end, so often you just have to put it out there. But the great thing about the internet is that you can go back and update. Of course that raises a lot of questions, which you explore here.

Also, to your point about albums, Charli XCX's BRAT remix album was described by her as a direct challenge to the idea that existing music can't be further developed.

interesting, I might try out some of your phone organisation style! I did a totally phone and computer-free 24 hours recently that I similarly found useful/illuminating. don't think I'll be repeating that too often, but I do find myself turning off the internet on my phone a lot now for similar reasons

The problem I have with modern western salads is that they are mostly some sort of Brassica. There are so many other types of interesting edible leaves in this world, why do you choose to only eat variations of one boring leaf?

true! more leaves!!! (also i dislike cabbage for the most part)

Your recent post about capturing tone and choosing interesting topics is all too relatable. For what it' s worth, though, I think your personality comes through well in your writing.

wow, thanks for the feedback, means a lot coming from you!

just wanted to say i really enjoy your site design and the philosophy behind it

I was joking in the previous comment, but now I realise that I've been doing it wrong all along. This is a very useful tutorial.
