This is encouraging to read. I’m on my own “write (and publish) every day” journey which I embarked on in July, and geez, while on the one hand it all feels like I’m still stumbling to make first baby steps each day and at the very beginning of a long journey, on the other hand it also seems like the actual first days of doing this are so distant in the far past. I’m not sure if there’s a name for this phenomenon of paradoxical time perception, when you feel like something just happened a few days ago, but also that it’s been ages. If not, there should be.
And congrats on those 5 million eyeballs!

The entire article hit on some of my writing challenges I hadn’t yet been able to articulate. So, thank you, this was very helpful.
This one part zoned right in to the heart of my problem 98% of the time.
“As an editorial director, publishing this type of writing feels improper. It’s so far from my professional definition of acceptable, that it feels embarrassing to publish. It’s certainly not my best work—not well-considered, could use more fact-checking, and with really rough sections. It’s more a confession than a curation, a burst of ideas collaged together in a post. “
