Notes vs blog (this writings are notes not blog)
My main barrier in writing is the usual perfectionism, where I keep thinking the writing is not good enough to publish. I keep polishing and polishing and never actually published the writing.
These living notes are my solution to that. Why not just publish my work in progress notes publicly and let the writing grow as i write it. But this remove the barrier of constantly thinking of publish or not, and just publish it from day one.
I just need to put a disclaimer for the readers that these are my notes and not blog. And they are often unpolished. And my ideas and opinion are in the moment and are prone to change.
You may think that I already have a separate writing place for unpolished writing. e.g my drafts, notes, diary.
But the feeling is different when these drafts are just hidden inside your private notes. You often end up abandoning them because there is no incentive.
But by making your notes public, I will have the urgency to finish or polish my notes as I don't want people to misunderstand or see my unpolished thought and would rather them see the polished or completed version.
