(Soliciting feedback rather than making an offer just yet but) would any of you be interested if I were to do some coaching/workshops about writing, with a specific focus on how to write more and in ways that are useful to you rather than some abstract notion of quality?

Yes, possibly. I have a private/public boundary that’s difficult to overcome. (I write copiously privately, almost nothing publicly.) I’m not sure how much I do want to write publicly but might be interested to explore.

Ah, interesting, I also had a lot of trouble writing publicly. Managed to solve it by writing under a pseudonym that clearly signals 'this might be crappy', and then merging it back into my IRL identity... no idea if this is a good strategy in general but worked for me!

I think on the whole the first approach is better, but I’m more of a random person irl, so the latter may be more my style.

FWIW the splurge everything I'm thinking about approach has worked very well for me, and every time I fret about whether it's appropriate and suggest narrowing the field readers go "noooo, we love that stuff"

Def worth knowing, thx. And I have been more persuaded that it could work seeing your stuff, too. I like the variety.

It's not for everyone, and some people do like to separate out their blogs by theme, but I think I would advise most people who are inclined to blog to start with a "everything I'm thinking about" blog and then extract common themes if necessary.
