Writing Slowly

My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.

@drwalt good example. The illusion of integrated thought is a problem, which is why I don’t publish absolutely everything just to see what sticks. Thoreau is an inspiration. He gradually honed his writing, so the ‘best’ version was in his books. For me, book writing and blogging are separate.
