Finally published a long blog post I’ve been working on for weeks! I dug into the values embedded in generative AI and the aesthetics of what I’m calling the “Business Borg” 😄 I also picked out accompanying indie tunes (gauging “obscurity” by fewer than 200k views on YouTube, mostly much less) 🎶

I’m working on a series over at my main blog that I’ve been working up to for the last year or even two 🦾 I tried to write it back in March, but didn’t have a good thruline. It finally came together under “the mindset of more.” I’m psyched about the most recent post, on taking control of my reading.

Do you have a draft blog post you want a second opinion on? I’m offering to do a developmental edit for 5 people this month as a gift to the indie web community. Details on my main site.

✍️ I scribbled myself a two sentence note on Friday, then when I went to put it online it grew into 2000 words 😂 I feel a bit silly because it’s about what makes a blog a blog. But, if you’re interested: Understanding blogs

✍ Question for fiction writers: do you outline in the same tense that you write in? My friend and I discovered last night that both of us outline in present tense but write in past tense. Curious whether others do as well 😊

At last night’s Homebrew Website Club, we lamented never finishing our blog drafts. Today I realized one of my drafts was about choosing and finishing projects. So I haven’t written any of today’s NaNoWriMo words yet, but I did write this 2000 word blog post 😂

You know how they tell you not to start running by running a 5k every day? NaNoWriMo is kinda like that for writing 😂

Three days of more writing than I’ve done in months, and I’m definitely feeling it!

Have spent six hours writing a blog post today…and it’s not done! Send help! 😂
