Episode notes

i have been writing professionally, you know, for over two decades. I write every single day. My keyboard is completely worn away after just a couple of years of use because of how much i write. For interesting articles, good writers spend a lot more time thinking about the point they want to make. And especially for an idea article, you're not going to figure itit on the page. That has to be done on foot. You can try and not like what you have. And you have to keep thinking before you start writing.
