Developing a Writing Habit

draft
Date: 2013-08-11
Tags: blog writing notes

the goal of writing anything at all is to express myself and potentially share it. i want to curate the best examples of my work, and not dilute my words or presence (real-time or digital).

i write a lot, and many times the work is naot meant for, or suitable to publish.
yet, i still want to keep it, and be able to reference it.  but, i do not need it to be cluttered (in my memory/personal RAM) either.

I will publish 1 blog article per month.
What will it be about? I will write about a number of things:
My life, culture, code, open gov, companies, etc. Trends, I see.

I will also publish code notes on an ad-hoc basis.
I will publish half-baked ideas on an ad-hoc basic, but label them as such.

So, I will #calendar the publishing of a blog post for the first week of every month.  The task will carry a known set of to-do's, like drafting.

As, a #desired#habit, I will attempt to write 500-1000 words per day on a topic, as exercise.  This task will also be #calendar'd.

On a daily basis, I will wake up and work from my Calendar. And each night, I will retrospect and see how I did.

My first blogpost will be published in the first week of September 2013,
and may cover entropy and scrapbooking.  I may also write about managing Afomi,
over-time, from afar, and side-business as a divergence of attention.

The default status for any block of writing is an "Idea".
If there's merit for expanding on the idea to publish it, it might become a "Draft"
Public is done, and made public.
Private is done, and not made public.
Discreet is discreet
