“I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes at nine every morning.” — William Faulkner
Inspired ot not, I’ve been averaging a few thousand words a week across 2-3 channels (ribbonfarm being the constant one) pretty much nonstop for 13 years.

The word budget ranged from ~300 phoned-in words on 1 channel on low weeks to a peak of probably 15k words in a single week. The distribution was very variable. Having multiple channels in multiple styles kinda suits my temperament.

Taking a partial break from writing in ~13 years. Just hit pause on
@breaking_smart for a few weeks, and might do so on@artofgig too. Possibly ribbonfarm too, though that’s so low pressure by design it’s close to shitposting. Proximal cause is Important Matters on Other Fronts.2 replies 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @vgr
I think there will be many, like myself, who would love to see some of these put together as a collection of essays/fragments/posts in a book format — a sort of evolution of your efforts to make sense of a world that resists intelligibility.
