September 23, 2011. Seth wrote this in his post Talkers block.

If you know you have to write something every single day, even a paragraph, you will improve your writing. If you’re concerned with quality, of course, then not writing is not a problem, because zero is perfect and without defects. Shipping nothing is safe.

The second best thing to zero is something better than bad. So if you know you have write tomorrow, your brain will start working on something better than bad. And then you’ll inevitably redefine bad and tomorrow will be better than that. And on and on.

On the day I’m drafting this note, that’s 5,475 days ago. A few days from now and it’s 15 years.

In the same post:

Just write poorly. Continue to write poorly, in public, until you can write better.

I should’ve started 15 years ago. But today is all I have. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is a promise I’ll probably break.

350 words is one paperback page of words. After all the time I’ve spent on this planet, it shouldn’t be too hard to some up with a viewpoint, perspective, observation, opinion or complaint to write about.
