The pain of having too much to write about
Arnold Zwicky over at Language Log gets to complaining about, well, things in general. Including the amount of email he gets and how long it takes to write a good post. He lets slip that
…I have a more-or-less constant queue of 250 postings in preparation, that is, partly written.
Would this be what they call slightly excessive? I have never had more than twenty unpublished posts and have long since come to the conclusion that any post that hangs around unedited and unpublished for more than a few weeks will probably never see the light of day. At least, not without a complete rewrite and probably a shift in focus and tone.
Two hundred and fifty posts!
