In which I shift my approach to publishing and express some disappointment
Back to the blog
Some years back, I switched my primary publishing platform from my blog, DarwinianInterlude, over to Medium. That hasn’t totally worked out.
I’m shifting back, inspired by Cory Doctorow's explanation in On Media Enshittification (pt 1) that all his writing starts with short blog posts that bump up against each other and ultimately coalesce into longer articles. I’ve been doing something similar, but it’s all happened behind the curtain with the longer articles emerging every other month or so from a motley collection of partially written stories, Google docs, LucidChart sketches, and lists of research links.
I like Cory’s approach better.
Blog posts feel like they can be more exploratory, shorter, tentative, and aimed at gaining some feedback that can help mature longer works.
My blog is DarwinianInterlude. You can get an email when I publish by using the Subscribe box in the upper right corner. (The most recent post is Awe Shucks. I’ll add a teaser below.) Occasionally I’ll reference some of those posts here and maybe even add a few to my local Table of Contents.
