Archiving this one. Grateful that this challenge brought me back in the habit of writing daily. Since these 67 days I've learned a lot about writing essays. Mostly midthrough I was adapting my attention to formulating interesting ideas. Too many of the essays that I started didn't have a sense of direction and because of that felt really incoherent.
Then I started reading How To Take Smart Notes by Sohnke Ahrens and from this book I learned to focus on a 'web of ideas'. Too early I was moving to the crunch of writing essays. Instead I am now focusing on writing atomic notes that can be interlinked. Essays should emerge from these findings instead of starting with a blank page.
