So I thought I had ideas for a couple of simple pieces that I could publish yesterday and today, but the zero drafting revealed that my initial conception was misguided, and the pieces weren't going to be simple at all. But then what was I supposed to publish? Trying to force a piece when the zero drafts say, "Hey, there's a lot more here than you initially considered," creates struggle, demands that the zero draft be something besides a zero draft (namely a first draft, which is different), and creates time pressure that I really hate.
It's now clear that if I'm going to allow--much less actually invite--more expansive pieces to come into creation, then my current approach to publishing is getting in the way.
