It's always odd to put a piece of writing down - not like, a whole article or chapter, but a few paragraphs - and then you come back to it the next day and you re-read it because you plan to finish it and you just look at it and conclude, "huh, this is done, actually." 🤷‍♂️

I wish I could do that. I look at it and conclude either, "This isn't half bad, a bit of work and I'll be proud of it," or "Start again."

"I'll need to knit these two ideas together later" ::deletes extra line-breaks between the paragraphs, adds a single word:: 'Oh, that actually flows just fine.'
