Well for starters these types of Nostr posts are random. I usually think of them when watching something or eating a meal.

My professional writing process is to write in parallel- at any given time I have 2-4 pieces I am working on, and whenever I am feeling one of them, I prioritize that one. I keep carving away at all of them until some become publishable.

Thanks for hopping back on NOSTR.

Thankful you’re here nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a

Is it a linear process? Or do you stray from main ideas and expand and edit as necessary?

Usually linear while working in parallel on a few pieces. But more like iterations- I linearly write a shitty version of the article, then go back and review and fix it, then review and fix it again, etc. If it’s a particularly complex article (eg my 20k word “What is Money” piece) I sit on it longer and get stuck and stray a bit until something clicks and it starts to fall in order.

I always know roughly what I want to say but the question is how to organize and communicate it clearly.
