I have to conclude that the practice of daily publishing is no longer serving me. Publishing a daily piece of any real substance takes most of my writing energy, leaving little available for more substantive work. Always having a next piece to publish, always having a next deadline has kept my zero drafts very in-the-moment. It's good to know that I can always hammer out something on whatever is on my mind, but I've used the immediacy of the process to train myself away from the deeper concentration required to write a book.
Somewhat irritatingly, I still can't shake the feeling that there's a real value in putting something up every day as an every-day assertion that I am constantly working.
It's about a month until the spring equinox. It's my intention to have a solution figured out by then so I can announce new rules for the start of the fourth year of Free Refills.
