Writing processes can vary by piece, context, person, or just about any other factor you can name.

Writing Processes, Side Projects, and Time Sucks…Oh My!

Posted on January 22, 2023 by Jesse

Update: I started this draft as something to end ’22 with, and it ended up taking on a life of its own. Then my company had what’s euphemistically called a RIF, or Reduction In Force, and my team went from 6 to 2—me and the social media guy are the only ones left standing. So…

If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing—how can you counter someone who says you’re doing it wrong?
