Today or tomorrow I’m going to need to give week 183 a bit of writing polish and revision. It’s all staged and ready to go out, but enough time has passed that I should be able to actually edit it for content and clarity. Sometimes you need some time to pass before you can edit or review your own work with any degree of perspective on the content. For me that window is about two weeks of separation between the writing event and the editing event. At that point, I generally have moved on to other things and circling back to do some editing is basically tabula rasa at that point for better or worse. We are quickly approaching the drafting of the 200th Substack post in the series. I’m not entirely sure why that milestone has so much meaning to me, but I’m very sure that it actually does seem like a major one that needs to have some type of fanfare.
My guess is that at 200 weeks of writing content I’m going to try to switch to a more video based delivery compared to the audio based podcast style version that previously was attempted. I think I can just use my computer setup to record a video style podcast or maybe I could use my mirrorless camera to record something of a little bit higher quality. Previously my best sustained video production efforts actually happened on one of my previous phones using PowerDirector to just put the clips together and edit. That series of content lasted around 100 days and worked out well enough. I think whatever gets put together this time around should be planned from the start to deliver a higher degree of quality.
