Notes on writing every week

A year ago I promised myself one post a week. I missed four weeks. Here is what the other forty-eight taught me.

Small is fine

A short post that is out is better than a long one that waits in a folder.

Keep a list of ideas

When an idea comes, it goes on the list at once. On a slow week, the list writes the post for me.

Pick a day

Mine is Sunday morning. When the day comes, there is no question about what to do.

1. Pick the idea.
2. Write for one hour.
3. Read it aloud, then publish.
