I love how you apply the scientific method to creative work! I do some of these things, too, though maybe less formally. I think a lot about changing variables in a process. Like, what would happen if I modify this step?

Also, I’m a huge fan of go-with-the-flow for publishing frequency. From a maker standpoint, it relieves some pressure. You don’t have to produce for the sake of producing. From a reader standpoint, I’m excited to read what you’re excited about. And that excitement will not follow any kind of regular rhythm on its own.

Thanks Kali! I appreciate your easy going approach to the making process. It definitely takes the pressure off - like how long it took me to comment back this time X__X I kept saying to myself, Substack isn't going anywhere, I'll do it when I have the brain bandwidth, which was a relatively recent acquisition lol
