On Thursday I wrote a post about letting go. I started writing in my notebook on the tram and finished in the office. Before I press publish I lost the draft.
Forty minutes of capture and refinement was lost. The saved draft was a skeleton of the finished product. It was a bummer.

@juleshughan Worst thing ever. That wall of carefully crafted text will never come back in the same way.

Needless to say, posting daily in March is not about refinement, it is about making an appearance, whether it is an rhapsody or a simple observation.
This approach is working. I feel compelled to capture my insights and press publish.
In six months time the scrawl in this notebook will be indecipherable, and I will be a better writer.
