Inspired by visakanv’s 1,000,000 words, I want to get back into the habit of writing and shipping unfinished pieces.
I have put my most spontaneous and raw posts on my Facebook for years and gotten a lot of positive feedback about it. But it’s always felt too unpolished to make into an essay, Substack or newsletter. And too rambly to be on twitter.
And, I usually only write on FB when I am heavy with a feeling that I need to explore or put out into the world. It’s almost like a way for me to process through a challenging emotion or experience.
In addition, I’ve been talking with my friends to build a cooperative content publishing brand as opposed to doing the usual personal brand. (More to say on that later). But, all to say, the pressure is on for me to be willing to write publicly more often. And to get to the really good stuff, you need to make a lot of attempts. So, this is that.
My plan is to audio record myself throughout the day on a topic and throw it into AI to make readable and do one light edit and publish. Hopefully the whole process takes less than 30 minutes and the hardest part is not blocking myself from freely talking.
I’m tempted to also release the audios so people can also listen rather than read. But, I’d want the workflow to be relatively seamless and no cost ideally. Will see.
