The past year has been a bleak one here at the Tinotopia Web Blog. I set out to write thing, and wind up getting bogged down, and so eventually I don’t even start writing anything because I don’t have the time to spend on something that never even goes anywhere. I spend time looking up statistics and anticipating and answering counter-arguments, and in the end never finish because writing such things — or writing them well, anyway — is hard, and I’m not getting paid for this.
So I’m instituting a practice of writing these things in ten minutes or less. I actually have a timer here on my desk. Writing in ten minutes means I can do away with research, counter-arguments, finding exactly the right picture to illustrate my point, etc., etc.: but the quality will remain the same! The way I figure it, the comments are for arguments anyway.
I would go into this in more depth, but it’s now been ten minutes (I went and got myself a refreshing beverage), and so I must leave it at that.
