Working on long-term writing projects, like say a trilogy of novels, is a kind of temporal capitalism. If you’re a successful young fantasy novelist, you could use high energy years to rough out novels that you actually finish and publish in lower energy later years.

Doesn’t work with all genres. Needs to be out of news cycle and with slow-changing conventions, and with sufficient frequency of publishing to keep the market alive.

I’m seeing this in a small way with my more blatantly virality seeking “summer blockbuster” type posts like Internet of Beefs. I think them up and save a first draft whenever but finish and publish when I sense I need a new traffic tent pole. It’s like a time-limited option.
