The author provides an example of the bad "Loading bar writing" but unfortunately not a good example of what they call "Outline speedrunning writing"
pg, who's good at writing essays, does provide a good example of the latter, with https://byronm.com/13sentences.html https://byronm.com/13sentences.html.
This is the writing process that lead to https://paulgraham.com/13sentences.html https://paulgraham.com/13sentences.html. (the https://code.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences?doomed=true https://code.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences?doomed=true URL on pg's blog is a now a dead link.

- jimbokun 2y agoThe other provides a very good example in one of the video illustrations, with the left hand side showing "loading bar" writing and right hand side simultaneously showing "outline speed running" writing.
- gchamonlive 2y agoWhat I do for my blog is I write everything at once. Then I figure out where to put images, then I publish it! It makes me go back and read it carefully since I have already published it, and then I polish, rewrite sections and add stuff that I missed.
- _heimdall 2y agoI have done something similar on the past and I was very happy with the results. At the time I was starting up a consulting business and got the first few gigs directly from engagement with my blog. I also time boxed myself when writing. I wouldn't write unless I had a really clear topic in mind, then I'd give myself an hour to get it published. A few times I ran out of time and ended it with a "follow-up post coming soon to dive into ___" type message and that worked just fine.
- gchamonlive 2y agoFollow up posts are important! It takes the pressure off having to cram everything into a single publication. Nice!
