I noticed I rarely have success if I intentionally try to write about a specific topic. It's usually an uphill battle. Instead, just having a place where I can talk about whatever I want, without obligation seems to create the most opportunities. Sometimes that's Calmly Writer. Sometimes Roam Research. Sometimes even just replying on Hacker News can be useful. I particularly like writing on Hacker News because it gives you a sense of what really vibes with people without overwhelming an audience. It's a great testing ground. Over time, writing often seems to clarify these cognitive structures in my head and give me a better intuition for what I want to say. It's a very meditative process and I would say the best thing you can do is go into it without expectation. Just have a place where you can write without expectation. And a place where you can write where people will watch.
