@anarchistquotes demonstrably untrue.

"“The rapid passage of time is a complete antimeaning machine. Doesn’t life absolutely require tactical slowing down if a person, even a smart, serious, concerned one, is to find the time and space to make meaning?” - Eric Maisel"

Tactical slowing down is great, but then writing slowly is a whole strategy. https://writingslowly.com/2024/02/08/at-last-writing.html

@RoLarenRED57 that would be amazing! And it makes me wonder what our local varieties are

"“No writing is wasted. Did you know that sourdough from San Francisco is leavened partly by a bacteria called lactobacillus sanfrancisensis? It is native to the soil there, and does not do well elsewhere. But any kitchen can become an ecosystem. If you bake a lot, your kitchen will become a happy home to wild yeasts, and all your bread will taste better. Even a failed loaf is not wasted.

Sinister Zettelkasten?: https://writingslowly.com/2025/05/07/sinister-zettelkasten.html

“You only come to know these things in hindsight – when you look back and see the precarious chain of events, happenstance, and good fortune that led to wherever you are now. Before you reach that point, you have no way of predicting which idea will make a difference and which will die on the vine. That’s why you record them all.

"“It is surprising how much one can produce in a year, whether of buns or books or pots or pictures, if one works hard and professionally for three and a half hours every day for 330 days. That was why, despite her disabilities, Virginia was able to produce so very much."—Leonard Woolf. Source."

My take: Choose your own race and finish it. The image is an example of how AI already looks unfashionable. https://austinkleon.substack.com/p/100-quotes-that-helped-me-write
