Should I write more or less has been a constant tension that I have felt over time. Should I write and publish essays like Craig Mod, polished things, which exist on their own. Or should I write more, publishing links as I go along, little thoughts, things I’ve learned and so on. Not super polished, but living documents, which I can edit over time.

Over the course of redesigning the website and ensuring I have a place to do both, I have found myself writing more and more. I used to think what’s the point of a link blog, sure someone else reading it might get some benefit out of it. But what benefit do I get from writing those?

I think two-

1. As a personal bookmark for things and ideas that I could refer to later
2. It just contributes to the volume

And this second point is what I have realised recently. Yesterday while walking, in fact.

The more I write, the more I practice this muscle that I have, the easier it gets. I am writing more in the daily note - a journal, more micro posts, more evergreen notes, and so on.

The more I write - the more I write.

Always, write more.
