Happy summer, everyone. Let me introduce my writing/publishing rules for summer.
-
Draft 5,000 words per week. This has been an effective minimum and I see no reason to change it now.
-
Publish every Monday through Friday. I've tried on other possibilities and so far nothing else feels right.
-
I may, for sufficiently good reason, take time off. I'm not sure exactly how to define "sufficiently good reason," but as you read this I am in Alaska and I may decide not to write and publish any other days this week, and you know what? I think that's fine.
-
I can redefine the rules at any time. I fixed the rules for spring and played by them for the entire season. But I'm looking to speed up the evolution of what I'm doing here, and so I want to be able to give space to dive into any experiment with writing and publishing that seems worthwhile.
Okay, ready? Let's begin.
