My New Year’s Resolution: Post More Garbage

You might be tired of hearing it by now. If so, I apologize. It’s just something I have a really hard time remembering.

I’ve been sticking to my daily schedule so far–and I’m really proud of myself for that!–but there’s a whole lot of half-finished posts piling up in my “drafts” queue and that feels like a bad sign. Microblogging has been great, and I’m going to continue doing it, but I think I need a bit of a nudge to actually finish more of the harder, long-form pieces. So here’s my resolution: at least one long-form post per week.

I expect I’ll put most of them up on Saturday, but that won’t be a hard-and-fast rule. I’d like to give myself a bit of extra time to start with, so I’m not going to. (Ha! Take that, me!) Expect a new long-form post by the end of this week.

(“Long-form” might be a bit misleading. The idea is simply to finish more of what I start; if I decide an idea doesn’t need more than a few paragraphs to be complete, that’s a win!)

Happy new year!
